Goumballe Gets 100th Game as IU Defeats Trine
10/27/2023 9:52:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana men's soccer senior forward Maouloune Goumballe celebrated senior night with his parents, started in his 100th career appearance and scored IU's first goal in a 2-0 win over Trine Friday (Oct. 27) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Goumballe's first-half strike and another from junior forward Tommy Mihalic in the second half were the difference as the Hoosiers (8-4-4, 3-2-2 B1G) outshot the Thunder (7-6-3, 5-1-1 MIAA) 34-4.
Prior to the match, Indiana celebrated 10 Hoosiers with a senior day ceremony: Hugo Bacharach, Brett Bebej, Andrew Goldsworthy, Maouloune Goumballe, Quinten Helmer, Karsen Henderlong, Austin Himebaugh, Lukas Hummel, Joey Maher and Nate Ward. Over five seasons, Indiana's senior class has recorded 64 wins, participated in the NCAA College Cup twice and won four Big Ten Championships.
All but Bacharach appeared in the match with Himebaugh and Hummel playing their first minutes this season. Goldworthy, a substitute in five prior matches this year, earned his first-career start.
Focus shifts to Sunday (Oct. 29) as IU hosts Rutgers in the regular season finale and decisive final day of Big Ten Conference action. With 11 points coming in, Indiana can clinch at least a share of the conference regular season title if both current co-leaders, Northwestern and Penn State (13 points apiece), each drop points in their matches. Both teams have lost twice and tied once.
Sunday's match will kick off at 12:30 p.m. ET. Fans can attend the match for free, though parking will be limited due to the Indiana men's basketball scrimmage tipping off at 1 p.m. Gameday updates for Sunday's matchup can be found here.
KEY MOMENTS
• 25' – Goumballe dribbled from the top of the box past a defender and towards the end line and fired a right-footed screamer near post past a diving keeper.
• 50' – Trine defenders swarmed Henderlong in the box as he brought the ball down. He found Mihalic wide open on the left side, and the junior coolly fired a first touch shot inside the back post.
NOTABLES
• Indiana is 3-0 against Trine all-time, playing the Thunder each of the last three seasons.
• IU recorded its seventh clean sheet.
• Goumballe is the NCAA's active leader in games played. The nation's next best is Washington's Christian Soto, who owns 93 career appearances.
• The goals were the first of the season for Goumballe and Mihalic.
