INDIANAPOLIS - The Hounds fell to 0-2-0 on the year after dropping their final non-conference game of the season to Lake Erie, 1-0. 

UIndy took the slight edge in possession for the match over Lake Erie, with 51 percent. The total shots, however, were favored in the direction of Lake Erie with 12 shots—including four on goal—to UIndy's six total shots and only one on goal. This is the second consecutive time against Lake Erie in which the Greyhounds were held to just one shot on goal the entire match. It was also the first time since Sept. 11, 2022 against Maryville where the Hounds were shutout at home in a loss. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
The match started as a back-and-forth affair as both teams buckled down defensively to keep the score 0-0 for much of the first half. There were chances at both ends, including a shot off of a corner kick from the Storm which forced a big save by Joey Schrand. The Storm finally broke the deadlock just before the half on a right-footed shot by Linus Oestlund that beat the outstretched hand of Schrand.

The Hounds responded with a flurry of chances to begin the second half. The Hounds' two best efforts came from Vincent Montoya in the 54th minute, forcing a save out of the Storm's Jasper Rump. Also a bicycle kick attempt by Medard Mikobi from inside the six-yard box flew just over the bar. Even with the Hounds' constant pressure in the second half they were unable to find the back of the net. 

INSIDE THE BOX
- Vincent Montoya was the only player for UIndy with a shot on goal.
- The Hounds received three yellow cards on four fouls in comparison to the Storm's three yellow cards on nine total fouls.
- UIndy led the match in total corners with a 7-4 advantage.
- Joey Longo made his first start of the season for the Hounds.

UP NEXT
The Hounds will open GLVC play this Sunday, Sept. 15, as they travel to Kirksville, Mo., for a match against Truman State University.
