ST. LOUIS – A first half goal by Michael Tselios wasn't enough for the No. 3-seeded UIndy men's soccer team to collect a win in the GLVC semifinal match against No. 2-seeded Lewis on Friday in St. Louis. The Greyhounds dropped the match by a 2-1 final and bow out of the 2022 conference tournament, now sitting with a 10-4-3 overall record on the year.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
UIndy grabbed the opening lead late in the first half in the 32nd minute off the free kick by Tselios. Standing just outside the penalty box, the recent First Team All-GLVC selection fired a ball that deflected off the left post and went past a diving goalkeeper. This was the only piece of scoring between the two squads in the opening 45 minutes.
