BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 16-ranked Indiana men's soccer (10-3-5, 7-1-2 B1G) defeated Division III opponent Trine (7-7-2, 5-0-2 MIAA) 4-1 Friday (Nov. 1) night in its regular season final on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

IU celebrated nine seniors during a pregame ceremony: JT Harms, Luke Jeffus, Patrick McDonald, Tommy Mihalic, Jansen Miller, Aidan Montoure, Samuel Sarver, Justin Weiss and Grant Yeagley. The 2024 senior class has earned a 54-18-17 (.702) record in four seasons, won three Big Ten Championships and reached the NCAA College Cup in 2022.

KEY MOMENTS
• 1' – Indiana started a familiar XI and was out of the gate strong. Fifty-five seconds in, freshman midfielder Charlie Heuer punched home senior forward Tommy Mihalic's low cross.
• 9' – Eight minutes late, it was Heuer's turn to assist. He lifted a ball over Trine's backline right into the path of fellow freshman Michael Nesci, who had an easy finish. The sequence was originally called offside, but a VAR check awarded a goal to Indiana.
• 17' – On the run, sophomore defender Alex Barger fired a low cross from the left wing that found sophomore forward Collins Oduro at the back post.
• 22' – Barger was the beneficiary of a Mihalic assist, as the senior found the sophomore on an on overlapping run. Barger took his chance and scored his first goal of the season.
• 28' – Trine sophomore midfielder Ben Borak took the ball off IU deep in its own territory and scored his one-on-one opportunity against senior goalkeeper JT Harms.

NOTABLES
• Indiana extended its unbeaten streak to 10 games in which the Hoosiers have an 8-0-2 record. IU has scored 32 goals in that stretch – an average of 3.2 goals per game. The 4-1 victory extends Indiana's run of multi-goal performances to 10 matches, its longest such streak since 1997 (13 matches).
• Despite scoring seven goals in its first eight matches, Indiana has eclipsed its production from a year ago with 39 goals through 18 matches – an average of 2.17 goals per game. IU totaled 35 goals in 24 matches last season (1.46 goal per game).
• Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Alex Kara and redshirt freshman forward Lucas Wolthers made their collegiate debuts as substitutes in the 72nd minute.
• Heuer scored for a second-straight match while also earning an assist.

UP NEXT
After clinching a share of the Big Ten regular season championship on Tuesday in its conference finale, the Hoosiers will watch the 10 other Big Ten teams play their final conference matches on Sunday afternoon. Results will determine Indiana's seeding in the Big Ten Tournament as well as if the Hoosiers will share their regular season title.
