The Greyhounds orchestrated a 2-1 overtime win versus the 21st-ranked Bellarmine Knights Sunday afternoon. Freshman Alexi Hardie scored the golden goal in the 94th minute, good for her first collegiate score. UIndy has now opened the season 3-0 for the first time since 2009.
MEN'S SOCCER
After debuting in the DII coaches poll last week, the No. 13 Greyhounds opened conference play with a 1-1 draw against visiting Bellarmine Sunday. Sophomore Alejandro Steinwascher scored the Hounds' lone goal, finding the back of the net off a Vincent Stone pass in the 10th minute.
CROSS COUNTRY
The UIndy harriers kicked off their 2019 season last week, with both teams taking second place at the Stegemoller Classic in Evansville, Ind., on Friday. Freshman Lex Brookshire (14:36.2) led the Greyhound women with a third-place finish, while junior Will Reid (19.42.9) paced the men by finishing ninth.
WOMEN'S GOLF
The Hounds opened their fall schedule last week with a comeback win at their own UIndy Invitational, held at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel, Ind.
