INDIANAPOLIS – In a match that featured a large crowd of both UIndy and Illinois Springfield, Alejandro Steinwascher shined by contributing on all three goals scored by the University of Indianapolis men's soccer team in a clean 3-0 win over Illinois Springfield at Key Stadium. The Hounds are now set to play in the Super Region 3 final on Saturday.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
UIndy found the scoreboard early in just the 12th minute of action when Steinwascher glided past a defender and touched a pass to Owen Atkison who fired a shot into the back of the net. This helped the Hounds carry a 1-nil lead into the halftime locker room.
