Hounds Fly Past Maryville on Senior Day

INDIANAPOLIS - The UIndy men's soccer team rolled past Maryville on Sunday in a convincing 5-2 victory on Senior Day.

The Greyhounds celebrated the 10 graduating seniors before today's match; August Abrahamsen, Cameron McNelis, Demetris Giannakopoulos, Joey Schrand, Jona Hogle, Kabiru Gafar, Keerti Unnamatla, Levi Hallman, Lucas Bedleg, and Roman Beko.  

This is the first win for UIndy in seven tries against Maryville, with the Hounds last win coming in 2019 when the Hounds booked their trip to the NCAA Division II Final Four.

Today's win also marks the largest win for the Greyhounds against the Saints since 2014 when the Greyhounds dominated 6-2.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The senior Bedleg got the scoring started in this one under two minutes. Gio Terlizzi's corner kick found the head of Bedleg, who nestled the ball in the back of the net for his second goal in as many games. 
 


Alex Ziermann doubled the Hounds' lead just 16 minutes later, when a Gafar cross found him wide open at the back post for an easy tap-in finish to put UIndy in front 1-0. 

Maryville responded after a careless turnover from the back line led to a one-on-one opportunity for Marcos Ayelo who tucked it away to cut the UIndy lead to one after 31 minutes. 

The second half was much of the same for UIndy, lots of offensive production that resulted in three more goals. 

Lucas Binnebose began the second half offensive onslaught, when another Terlizzi corner kick was placed perfectly inside the six yard box to the head of Binnebose, who gave UIndy the 3-1 lead. 

The next two goals were scored by the senior, Gafar, on a clinical one-on-one breakaway effort, and Terlizzi who scored his sixth goal of the season, and his first since Sept. 21 against Quincy to push UIndy in front 5-1. 
 


Maryville grabbed one late goal on a direct free kick, but it wasn't enough as the Hounds cruised past the Saints 5-2 on Sunday.

INSIDE THE BOX
- Four points, two assists and one goal, are the most in a match this season for Terlizzi.
- This is the second time this season the Hounds have had five goal scorers in a game.
- Seniors Hallman and McNelis both made debut appearances for the Hounds today on their Senior Day.
- Gafar tallied his fourth career game with at least one goal and one assist in a game in his time as a Greyhound.

UP NEXT
UIndy will travel out to McKendree on Friday Oct. 25 at 3:30 p.m. in a battle between two top six teams in the 2025 GLVC standings.
