INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis women's soccer team fell in a 1-0 affair to the No. 23-ranked Cedarville Yellow Jackets late on Thursday night to open their season 0-1-0.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After a quiet first 10 minutes, the Yellow Jackets were the first to taste offense, placing a shot on net at the 15th minute which was saved by
Kendall Ellis. They kept the Greyhounds keeper busy with another bottom-right attack just five minutes later.
It took until the 33rd minute for UIndy to respond, grabbing their lone shot on net of the contest, a boom by newcomer
Kayleigh O'Neal, which was corralled by the goalie. Cedarville had chances late in the half, but strong defensive shape by the Hounds kept the score 0-0 into intermission.
Early pressure, much like the first half, was the recipe for the visitors in the second half, this time proving to be more fruitful. After a pair of corners, the Yellow Jackets found the advantage at the 59th-minute mark, grabbing what would be the lone goal of the contest.
The sides battled back-and-forth from there on, but neither budged, leaving the final score 1-0.
UP NEXT
The Hounds hope to rebound and find their first win of the season this Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. UIndy will battled Ohio Dominican at 3 p.m.
