Despite Dominance, Indiana Ties Michigan
9/26/2023 11:18:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON — On several occasions, Indiana men's soccer (3-3-3, 0-1-2 B1G) came inches away from taking three points from its Big Ten matchup with Michigan (2-3-4, 1-0-2 B1G) Tuesday (Sept. 26) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Instead, the contest ended in a scoreless draw.
IU fired 19 shots and seven on frame, but nothing fell its way. Two shots were saved by fingertips into the woodwork in the 60th minute. IU later had two shots inside the box in the 90th minute, but both were pushed away by Michigan defenders getting deflections at the last moment.
Michigan was held to five shots as Indiana earned its fifth clean sheet in nine matches.
KEY MOMENTS
• 18' – Junior midfielder Patrick McDonald had the first great chance for either side with a shot from 19 yards out that challenged U-M freshman goalkeeper Isaiah Goldson to dive to his left for the save.
• 40' – Michigan best chance came late in the first half as, within a couple of minutes, two corners rebounded to senior midfielder Quin Rogers at the top of the box. Senior goalkeeper JT Harms saved both.
• 45' – IU seemed to have its breakthrough in the waning moments of the first half as senior defender Hugo Bacharach headed off the cross bar and in from a great McDonald cross. As celebrations erupted, the offside flag went up.
• 60' – Lady luck seemed to tease IU in the 60th minute. Freshman forward crossed low to senior forward Karsen Henderlong, and the veteran shot first-time with his right foot and pounded it towards the near post. Goldson threw his left hand at it and got just enough to push it off the post and away. IU collected and recycled to the left for junior forward Tommy Mihalic, who shot from distance. Goldson was lucky to get a piece of it, as the curling effort traveled away from the keeper's leap to his left, but his fingertips made just enough contact to see it smack into the crossbar.
• 90' – IU was unlucky again in the final minute as Mihalic found Henderlong wide open in the box. Henderlong quickly chested it down, turned and fired, but U-M sophomore defender Nolan Miller flew in with a challenge just in time to deflect. The ball came to Bacharach, who shot on goal with his left but was blocked by the head of sliding graduate defender Moshtaba Al-Hasnawi. In the second half, Indiana outshout Michigan 13-1.
NOTABLES
• Kickoff was delayed by 30 minutes due to wet field conditions from rain Tuesday afternoon.
• Indiana moves to 24-4-5 against Michigan all-time.
• IU earned its fifth clean sheet and has kept a 0.56 goals against average this season. Tuesday's match was the seventh in which the Hoosiers have kept their opponent to single-digit shots.
UP NEXT
Indiana has a week before traveling to play Kentucky next Tuesday (Oct. 3) in Lexington. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. ET.
