INDIANAPOLIS - In the first leg of a road weekend, the University of Indianapolis women's soccer team fell to Maryville University 4-0 on Friday, Oct 18. The loss moves the Greyhounds' record to 7-5-1 and 6-3-1 in the GLVC, while Maryville now sits at 8-0-1.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Maryville struck gold on their first shot attempt of the match, as Sara Lawler put one past Jenna Tagihkhani on a creative setup by Tori Calvert at the 6:30 mark to open the scoring for the Saints.
Just minutes later, Sarah Wegener tried to find an equalizer with a try on Agnes Vilen, who made the save on the low shot fired near the left post. Later on in the first, the Saints found the back of the net in the 27th minute, this time from Lotte Brands. The goal from Brands was followed up with a third Maryville goal just 12 minutes later from a corner kick. Nika Vemdal scored an impressive goal in the 39th minute, taking the ball out of the air and blasting it above Taghikhani. The Hounds were unable to register a shot for the remainder of the first, as they went to halftime trailing 3-0.
In the second half, the Saints found themselves a cushioning goal at the 56:46 mark, where Tori Calvert scored on a pass from Maddie Dickerman. The Hounds fought hard to shorten the deficit, as Ella DeSmet and Marin Dierkers both sent shots towards Vilen, but neither attempt landed on frame.

- Sarah Wegener recorded the lone shot on goal for the Hounds, making it three straight games of registering at least one shot on goal.
