INDIANAPOLIS - The Hounds ended their two-game skid when Alvaro Sanchez's 82nd-minute goal lifted the team to a 1-0 win over Truman on Sunday.
Head coach Gabe Hall and company were able to extend the team's win streak against Truman to six straight wins. UIndy was able to find some offense in the match as well, for the first time this season, as they had 15 total shots compared to Truman's six.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Greyhounds started the match strong with early chances from
Bobby Turner and
Vincent Montoya. But their first real scoring chance came when
Lucas Bedleg hit the crossbar in the 33rd minute.
UIndy started the second half with another chance by Bedleg in the 51st minute, which forced a save from Truman goalkeeper Justin Olwig. A chance just under four minutes later by substitute
Kabiru Gafar missed just to the right of the goal, keeping the score all level at 0-0.
Much of the second half was played in the Hounds' attacking half as they put continuous pressure on the Bulldog defense. Their pressure finally paid off in the 82nd minute when
Alvaro Sanchez corralled a loose ball at the top of the box, and hit a shot low to the left side of the goal, beating the outstretched arm of Olwig to give the Hounds the 1-0 lead and eventually the win.
