INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis men's soccer team closed out the regular season in dramatic fashion, shaking off a late game-tying goal to earn a 2-1 double overtime win over Saint Joseph's, extending their winning streak to four games.
 
The Greyhounds close the regular season with a 11-4-2 record and a 10-3-2 mark in conference play, earning them the second seed in the upcoming GLVC Tournament.

GAME CHANGER
Following an overtime period that saw both teams exchange quality chances, the Greyhounds got the game-winner when Jacob Meyer headed home a Julian Shamsaie crossing feed that hit both posts before settling in the back of the net in the 107^th minute. It was Meyer's ninth tally of the year and his fifth game-winner of the season.
 
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
The Greyhounds appeared to have the match in hand after Josh Ling's fifth goal of the season in the 80^th minute. Ling took a feed from Shamsaie just outside the box before splitting two Puma defenders to find the back of the net.
 
With less than two minutes to go in the match, the Pumas drew even when Erick Turner took a feed from Nick Cossyleon just outside the box and beat UIndy goalkeeper Christopher Jones just inside the right post for his third goal of the year.
 
The Pumas nearly completed the comeback in 94^th minute when a Cossyleon chance in tight sailed just over the crossbar UIndy had a chance to end the game in the 99^th minute, but David Kurz was denied by the post on a shot in the box.
 
Shots were 17-6 in favor of UIndy, who held a 6-3 edge in shots on goal. Jones made two stops to earn his 11^th win of the year. At the other end, Adam Whybrow turned aside four Greyhound shots.

Shamsaie's two assists give him a team-high six on the season and extends his points streak to four matches (1G, 5A).
 
HEAR IT FROM THE HOUNDS
Junior Jacob Meyer: "It's great to head into the conference tournament with momentum and get a win in dramatic fashion against a good team. We're a really confident team right now and we have to focus on getting some good training sessions in before the game on Sunday. We need to keep doing the little things right and go out and execute on Sunday."
 
Head coach John Higgins: "That was a big win for us. We knew it was going to be a tough game for us and we got a great win to not only finish second in the GLVC, but improve our standings in the NCAA Regional Rankings. We started off great but we fell back into some old habits late in the game. We kept possession just to have it and didn't really attack but we bounced back and showed some great character to get the win in double overtime."
 
"Drury is a really good team and we need to be at our best. Now that it's conference tournament time, it's anyone's game. We showed that last year winning the tournament as a six seed. We like the matchup with the way that we line up against Drury. Now it's up to our guys to go out and execute."
