9/5/2024 11:20:00 PM | Women's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women's soccer pushed past the Evansville Aces (1-3-1), 5-0, at Bill Armstrong Stadium on Thursday evening.
KEY MOMENTS
• Freshman forward Layla Sirdah found the net in the fifth minute after she dribbled the ball past an Ace's defender just outside the six-yard box before firing one in the back of the net.
• Indiana (4-0-1) went up 2-0 behind, a rocket from sophomore midfielder Elle Britt. She scored her first career goal of the season after faking out her defender on the left corner of the 18-yard box.
• Sirdah saw another try in the 20th minute, straight down the middle of the field, but the Evansville goalkeeper scoops it up and saves it.
• A brace by Britt in the 26th minute of the match on a pass from Sirdah. She sent the ball to Britt right outside the corner of the 18-yard box to find the net for her second goal of the night. Her attempt bounced right under the goalie before rolling into the net.
• IU would take a 3-0 lead heading into the half as they led the Purple Aces 16-1 in shots.
• The Hoosiers earned a corner kick in the 56th minute that led to a goal by senior defender Lauren Costello. Sirdah took the corner before finding the head of graduate defender Avery Snead. Her attempt went up in the air before it was tapped in by Costello before she sent it past the keeper.
• Snead scored the Hoosiers final goal in the 75th minute on a cross from Natasha Kim. The Aces keeper made a diving save on Kim's cross, but Snead was able to capitalize on the loose ball as she extended the lead, 5-0.
• Evansville saw two chances in the second half, but senior goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg picked up two saves for her fourth win on the season.
