Simmonds' Second-Half Score Lifts Hounds Past Panthers in Season Opener

INDIANAPOLIS - In the first home stand of the 2024 season, the University of Indianapolis women's soccer team defeated Ohio Dominican University, 2-1, on Thursday evening from Key Stadium.

Freshman Clare Simmonds found the back of the net in the second half to give the Greyhounds the lead for good, notching her first-career goal and game-winner.
 


ODU struck first in the 29th minute, as Meghan Coakley put home a free kick delivered by Natalie Burwinkel. Just 19 seconds later, Mia Winters netted the equalizing goal by sneaking the ball past the ODU keeper. In the second half, Simmonds scored the go-ahead goal off a UIndy corner kick in the 60th minute.

Goalkeeper Jenna Taghikhani contributed eight saves on the night in the winning effort.
