INDIANAPOLIS - The UIndy men's soccer team had an offensive explosion in the second half today to give the Greyhounds the 3-0 win over Missouri S&T.

The Hounds have won 10 of the last 13 matches against the Miners, with UIndy's only loss during that stretch coming in their meeting on Oct. 23, 2022. UIndy also extends their win streak at home to four straight games.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Much of the first half was a defense stalemate, with only one shot on goal combined between both teams. 

The one big chance came early in the first half when Missouri S&T's, Julian Arsaether's breakaway chance was denied by Ionas Giovanidis to keep the score all knotted at zero.

The second half was a much different story, as the Hounds scored three goals in less than 10 minutes to get the Hounds out to a convincing 3-0 lead.

The first of the three goals was scored by Alvaro Sanchez, after a through ball from Jona Hogle to a streaking Sanchez, who tucked it away finishing a counter attack to give the Hounds the 1-0 lead after 47 minutes.

The second goal came less than four minutes later when Jakob David scored a low driven one timer shot from outside the 18-yard box that beat the diving Cavitt Bruhn to double the Hounds lead.

But UIndy wasn't done, three minutes later, a poor clearance from Bruhn found the feet of Sanchez, who then played a cross to Landen Montfort for a one-on-one chance against the Miner's goalkeeper and eventually scoring to extend the lead to 3-0.

The rest of the second half was full of more chances for UIndy, the majority of them coming from Lucas Bedleg, who racked up five shots in the final 37 minutes.

The Miners defense was strong for the final stretch of the second half, but it wasn't enough as the Hounds came out on top with a 3-0 home win.
