8/31/2024 2:11:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — After hosting 4,573 fans Thursday in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Notre Dame, Indiana stays home to welcome Yale to Bill Armstrong Stadium for the first time in program history on Sunday (Sept. 1).
Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Tickets are on sale online or at any Armstrong Stadium ticket booth on matchday. Fans unable to attend the match can watch on the B1G+ digital platform.
Indiana athletics will give away Hoosier Army supporters scarves to the first 500 fans in attendance. In addition, two ticket discounts are available: (1) K-12 teachers and school staff members and (2) fans that show their ticket from Saturday's IU-FIU football game can buy $5 tickets.
KICKING OFF
• The Hoosiers are looking for their first win but showed promise in Thursday night's result. IU totaled 18 shots, 10 on goal, while holding the reigning NCAA runner-up to six shots. Freshman Michael Nesci and senior Tommy Mihalic opened their season accounts as Indiana battled back from a 1-0 deficit.
• September 1 marks one year since Indiana last lost at Armstrong Stadium — a 1-0 defeat to then-No. 9 Washington before the Hoosiers finished the season with an 11-1-2 home record. Since then, Indiana is 10-0-3 at "The Bill."
ABOUT THE BULLDOGS
• Yale played its first match of the season Friday, a 1-0 defeat to Marquette.
• The Bulldogs won the IVY League Tournament in 2023 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. They finished the year with an 11-6-3 record.
• Yale is led by ninth-year head coach Kylie Stannard, who has compiled a 54-58-24 career record into his ninth season in New Haven, Connecticut.
SERIES HISTORY
• Sunday's match will mark the first meeting between Yale and Indiana of the 21st century as well as the series' first matchup at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
• The programs bookended the 1990's with meetings in 1991 and 1999, both resulting in 2-1 Hoosier defeats. Both years resulted in Bulldog runs in the NCAA Tournament. Indiana would reach the NCAA College Cup in each season, winning its fifth title in 1999.
