BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 6-seeded Indiana (12-6-1) outshot Saint Louis (12-2-7) 16-3 in their NCAA Tournament Second Round match on Sunday (Nov. 3) and dominated possession, but the visitors took advantage of a chance against the run of play to survive and advance on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

KEY MOMENTS
• 10' – Indiana seemed destined to score in the early moments of the match. Senior forward Palmer Ault fired a pair of dangerous shots in the second minute and another in the ninth. Junior forward Collins Oduro and redshirt freshman Nolan Kinsella had chances in the 10th, but the Hoosiers couldn't find the back of the net.
• 17' – GOAL! Saint Louis graduate goalkeeper cleared his lines and freshman forward Theo Franca met it with his head, flicking it forward towards junior midfielder Tanner Andersen. IU redshirt junior defender Breckin Minzey couldn't clear, and the ball fell into the path of Andersen, who struck a shot through Minzey's legs and past graduate goalkeeper Holden brown. Saint Louis 1, Indiana 0

NOTABLES
• Indiana will not appear in the NCAA Tournament Third Round for the first time since 2014. The program's 10-year streak of round of 16 appearance ranks tied for third in NCAA history – the Hoosiers had an identical streak from 1976-85.
• Sunday's match marked Indiana's 50th overall and 39th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. IU is the only program with an active streak in double digits.
• Indiana welcomed a record single-season attendance of 36,935 to Bill Armstrong Stadium over 12 home matches this season. Hoosier Army pushed IU to a 9-2-1 home record.
• Indiana's senior class totaled 51 victories, three Big Ten Championships, reached the NCAA Tournament Second Round all four seasons and played in the NCAA College Cup final as freshmen in 2022.
• Ault finishes his senior season with 16 goals, 10 assists and 42 points, the NCAA leader in that final category. His collegiate career ends with 37 goals, 22 assists and 96 points. In his lone season at IU, Ault became the first NCAA Division I men's player to record 15 goals and 10 assists since 2017 (Jon Bakero, Wake Forest). Ault is also the second Big Ten player in the 21st century to reach both marks in a single season, joining fellow Hoosier Pat Noonan (2001).
