8/22/2024 7:08:00 PM | Men's Soccer
ST. LOUIS — The NCAA's greatest champions will meet in their 2024 men's soccer season opener Friday (Aug. 23) at Hermann Stadium, as eight-time NCAA Champion and No. 5-ranked Indiana visits 10-time national title winner Saint Louis.
Fans can watch Friday's match on the ESPN+ digital platform. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET.
KICKING OFF
• Reigning Big Ten Champion Indiana begins its 52nd season on Friday.
• SLU and IU have combined for 18 national titles, though IU has had the better run in modern
college soccer, as SLU last wore the crown in 1973 — the year the IU program was established.
• Big Ten men's soccer coaches unanimously selected Indiana to repeat as conference champion in the Big Ten's 2024 season preview.
• Three members of the IU men's soccer roster call St. Louis home: freshman Josh Maher, senior Jansen Miller and junior Jack Wagoner. Associate head coach Kevin Robson is also a native of St. Louis.
ABOUT THE BILLIKENS
• Saint Louis finished the 2023 season with an 8-4-5 record and sported a 4-1-3 mark in Atlantic 10 Conference play.
• The Billikens are led by seventh-year head coach Kevin Kalish, who has compiled a 61-26-19 record at Saint Louis and a 110-72-33 career record in 13 years as a Division-I head coach.
• Saint Louis' 2024 roster includes three former Hoosiers. Defender Joey Maher and forward Nate Ward graduated from IU after last season and are utilizing fifth years of eligibility at Saint Louis. Defender Lawson Redmon spent three seasons in Bloomington.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana has had the significant better of the matchup, winning 24 of the 37 meetings all-time including each of the last seven going back to 2008.
• The two teams last met in the second round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament on IU's road to its 22nd NCAA College Cup. The teams were separated only by Ryan Wittenbrink's 75th-minute goal in the 1-0 Hoosier home win.
• The last regular season meeting in 2016 was a rout, as IU recorded a 5-0 win over the Billikens. IU's current coaching staff all made an impact on the match, as Tanner Thompson scored a hat trick, Christian Lomeli earned the clean sheet and Todd Yeagley and Kevin Robson served their current positions.
