INDIANAPOLIS - The UIndy men's soccer team fell 2-1 to Lewis in a rematch of last year's NCAA Super Region semifinal game, in which the Hounds also fell 2-1 to the Flyers.

This is the fourth time in the last two seasons in which these two GLVC foes faced off against each other. The Greyhounds and Flyers both have two wins in those four games.

The chances were few and far between for either team, but the Hounds came out on top of the total shot count for the 12th time this season, after out shooting Lewis 11 to seven. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
The first half was dominated by the Flyers, as the majority of the half was played in UIndy's defensive half of the field.

Lewis struck first with a brilliant team goal orchestrated by the Flyers' Makonnen Stampley, and ended on a one-time finish from Carson Czosnyka to beat a diving Ionas Giovanidis to make the score 1-0 just five minutes into the match.

The next 35 minutes were all Flyers, but Ryan Walsh's header chance on a corner kick that was saved by an outstretched Sebastian Doppelhofer.

On the ensuing corner kick, Jakob David's in-swinging corner found Medard Mikobi on the back post for a header that beat the Flyer defender and leveled the score at one a piece as the teams headed to halftime.

The Hounds gained back some of the momentum early in the second half, with another chance from Mikobi's head on a corner kick from David that would've given UIndy the lead, but Doppelhofer kept the score all square at 1-1 after 61 minutes.

Lucas Bedleg just 14 minutes later had a low driven chance of his own that was saved and knocked out of bounds for a corner, keeping the score deadlocked in the 76th minute.

The Flyers struggled to generate many chances of their own all second half, but in the 84th minute after a Mikobi foul, Lewis' Stampley stepped up for a free kick from 25 yards out that was rifled into the top right corner of the goal to give Lewis a late 2-1 lead.

UIndy was unable to muster any other big chances of their own in the final six minutes, leading to a 2-1 loss for UIndy, as they now wait and see who they will face in the GLVC tournament.

INSIDE THE BOX
- Mikobi picked up his second goal of the season in tonight's game vs. Lewis.
