INDIANAPOLIS –  In the last non-conference game of the season, the UIndy women's soccer team fell to the Thomas More University Saints, 1-0, at Key Stadium.

UIndy held the edge in possession percentage, as they held 61 percent of possession for the match. Shots and shots on goal were also sloped in favor of the Greyhounds, where six of their 19 total shots made it on target. Thomas More only had three total shots, with their one shot on goal finding the back of the net in the seventh minute.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Saints came out of the gate strong, scoring within the first seven minutes of the match when Lily Martin snuck one past keeper Jenna Taghikhani off the left post. The goal came from a set piece out of the corner, where the ball skipped around multiple players before landing on Martin's foot.
 
The Hounds' effort to equalize the score in the first half was met with ill fate, as two Greyhound shots rattled out off the crossbar. In the second half, the Hounds put four chances on target, but could not beat Lauren Welsh between the pipes. Welsh earned her first shutout of the young season, making six saves.

INSIDE THE BOX
-UIndy's +16 shot advantage was its highest since outshooting Southwest Baptist, 25-6, back in October of 2022.
-The Hounds also owned a big advantage in corner kick chances, including a 9-0 edge in the second half.
-Sophomore Mia Winters paced the Hounds in both shots (6) and shots on goal (3).
-Junior midfiedler Faith Dean made her first of the year.
