INS & OUTS
The defense dominated early on, with 12 minutes of action elapsing before either team recorded a shot; the Bulldogs took that honor. The home team followed that up four minutes later, but quality defensive play kept the shot from going in.
Â
The Hounds reciprocated the offensive attack with a pair of shots by
Chloe Noon and
Stephanie Brady, neither finding the net. A shot at the 33rd minute by Truman solidified the defensive nature of the first half.
Â
Sarah Wegener initiated action going in the second, launching the first shot of goal for the Hounds, just five minutes after the break. UIndy pressed their attack throughout the second half, registering six shots – with all three on goal coming in that period. Wegener once again found her chance to break the deadlock at the 88th minute, receiving a beautiful free kick from Theis, but the Bulldogs thwarted the attempt, ensuring the game remained goalless.
