9/18/2023 4:05:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON — Sandwiched between Big Ten Conference matches, Indiana men's soccer (2-2-2, 0-0-1 B1G) will welcome Butler (1-3-1, 1-0-0 BIG EAST) in an Indiana derby Tuesday (Sept. 19) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
Fans can stream the match on the Big Ten Plus digital platform, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
Tuesday is International Night at The Bill as IU men's soccer and the Indiana University Office of International Services are teaming up to welcome all international students to IU. Students are welcome to join a pregame tailgate with free pizza and prizes available.
The first 250 students in attendance will also receive a Hoosier Army t-shirt, presented by the Student Athletic Board.
SETTING THE SCENE
• Indiana is 107-14-8 (.863) all-time against opponents from The Hoosier State. IU has not lost to a team from the state of Indiana since 2019 - a 2-1 loss to Butler. Since then, the Hoosiers are 7-0-2 in these derbies, outscoring opponents 23-5.
• Defensively, the Hoosiers have conceded three goals in six matches, a 0.50 goals against average that ranks No. 6 nationally. Indiana has not allowed multiple goals in any match.
• Offensively, Indiana has created chances, ranking No. 15 in the country in shots per game (16.0). However, that production has not yet yielded similar scoring - Indiana has scored four goals so far.
ABOUT THE BULLDOGS
• Butler is 1-3-1 and coming off a 2-1 win at Villanova in its BIG EAST opener.
• The Bulldogs are led by 13th-year head coach Paul Snape, who has compiled a 103-88-35 record at Butler.
• Butler has scored all four of its goals this season from sophomore forward Palmer Ault, who bagged a brace in the win at Villanova.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana and Butler have met in 23 of the last 24 seasons and 25 of 27 going back to their first-ever matchup in 1991. The last year they didn't play was the abbreviated 2020-21 season, in which IU played a conference-only regular season.
• Last season, Indiana traveled to Indianapolis and came back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1. Jansen Miller's first collegiate goal tied the match in the 53rd minute before Ryan Wittenbrink fired home the winner six minutes later.
• The two teams have met four times in the NCAA Tournament, with Indiana winning the last three. In 1998, IU beat Butler, 2-1, in overtime in regional final play on its way to its fourth national title.
• Three current Hoosiers have earned points against the Bulldogs. Miller and Joey Maher each have scored against Butler, and Patrick McDonald was awarded the assist to Miller's goal last season.
