IU Ties in Lexington
10/3/2023 10:47:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON — A thrilling match full of chances ended in a 1-1 draw between Indiana men's soccer (3-3-4, 0-1-2 B1G) and Kentucky (3-6-0, 0-3-0 Sun Belt) in Lexington Tuesday (Oct. 3) night.
IU once again led its opponent in shots (14-10) but came away with a handful of near-misses. The Hoosiers put six shots on target and had 10 corner kicks.
Senior forward Karsen Henderlong opened the scoring and his season account in the 12th minute with a clinical finish. After senior goalkeeper JT Harms saved a penalty in the 25th minute, Kentucky drew even five minutes later. Indiana dominated the second half with 10 shots to four but were kept out of goal.
KEY MOMENTS
• 12' – A through ball intended for freshman forward Collins Oduro fell to Henderlong on the outside of the box. Henderlong took a touch and fired with his left foot around the keeper.
• 14' – Oduro broke free on the left wing, cut inside and fired towards the near post. Kentucky sophomore goalkeeper Casper Mols dove and saved.
• 24' – A Wildcat went down as he turned inside the box, and the referee pointed to the spot. Graduate midfielder Finn Ballard McBride fired the spot kick to his left, and Harms pounced to push it away and out of danger.
• 30' – Kentucky scored from a restart as a throw-in was headed out towards the edge of the box. Junior defender Eion Martin was there, fired first time and inside the far post to equalize.
• 72' – IU was inches away from retaking the lead when Mols spilled a cross in front of junior forward Samuel Sarver. Sarver fired at the empty goal from a tight angle and sent it into the post.
• 79' – Indiana was nearly through from a pair of corners. First, a loose ball was directed towards goal and IU players appealed for handball, but nothing was given. On the resulting corner, senior defender Jansen Miller connected with a header, sending it close but into the side netting.
• 85' – Kentucky sophomore midfielder Yohannes Mathias received his second yellow and was sent off for a challenge about 20 yards out. Sophomore forward Luka Bezerra's free-kick attempt sailed a foot high.
• 90' – Miller had one last opportunity in the dying moments but headed high.
NOTABLES
• Indiana moved to 27-3-5 against Kentucky all-time.
• Henderlong's first goal of the season was his 25th in his career and 35th goal contribution (goals and assists).
UP NEXT
Indiana returns to Big Ten play on Saturday at Penn State. Kickoff is set for noon ET, and the match will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
