    Indiana falls just short of another national championship

    CARY, N.C. — In their 50th season, the Indiana University men’s soccer team was 90 minutes away from the perfect ending to the season — a ninth national championship. The Hoosiers threw everything they had at the Syracuse Orange, fighting back twice to even the score and then heading to...

    Reflecting on College Cup final, Indiana’s season

    Relentless. I look back on last Monday’s national championship between Indiana and Marshall and that’s the word that comes to mind. Marshall was relentless in their attack. They dominated the ball. They shut down the Hoosiers offense. And yet, IU’s players didn’t give up kicking and screaming. They fought...

    For Indiana, the mission was simple — win and advance. The quest for their ninth NCAA championship was on the line. They had to shut down an explosive Pittsburgh offense. If they could control Pitt, they could control the game. It wasn’t easy, but Friday night the Hoosiers relied...

    Indiana heads to College Cup seeking 9th title

    Lucky No. 21. Could this trip to the men’s College Cup be Indiana’s ticket to its ninth NCAA Championship? It very well could be. In a world where the NCAA couldn’t even confirm whether a championship would happen, the Hoosiers kept focused. They trained via video chats. The players...

    Every generation has one: a player who stands above all others; a player who people come to see; a player who is more than just a player. In the late 1980s, Ken Snow was that player for Indiana men’s soccer. Kenny, as those who knew him called him, was...

    Hoosiers end season on sour note with loss to UC Santa Barbara

    BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Sometimes you can do everything right. And in one moment, one finish, your season comes to an end. For the Indiana Hoosiers, that moment happened in the 102nd minute when Will Baynham broke through the Hoosiers defense, shot and buried his attempt into the back of the...

    Disappointing finish for dominant Indiana squad

    SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — For the 2018 Indiana Hoosiers, their yearly campaign started like all the rest with a handful of goals. As the season went on, they hit milestone after milestone. They dominated opponents en route to a perfect season in Big Ten play (8-0), their 15th Big...

    Hoosiers fall to Terrapins in College Cup semifinals

    SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — In the College Cup, all bets are off. The last four teams standing take the pitch, hoping for the best result. The slate is wiped clean. It’s anyone’s game. This year’s College Cup was no exception. Indiana and Maryland knew each other all too well....

    Yeagley not fretting over Indiana’s College Cup heartbreak

    Disbelief. The Indiana Hoosiers could all but taste the national championship. But after 103 minutes, they watched Stanford celebrate a 1-0 win. The Hoosiers sunk to the pitch in disbelief. IU ended the regular season undefeated. The Hoosiers fell short of the Big Ten championship via penalty kicks. And...

    Hoosiers remain stout in defensive third

    Defense, defense and more defense. Indiana men’s soccer has long had a motto — defense wins championships. 2017 is no exception to that rule. As a matter of fact, 2017 is making history with every match played. With one match left to play, IU (18-0-6) leads the nation in...
