Soccer Hosting IU Tuesday Afternoon for Red Out Match
August 19, 2024 | Soccer
The Ball State soccer team looks to ride the momentum from its season-opening win into a 5:30 p.m. home contest with Indiana on Tuesday at the Briner Sports Complex.
The match will be the first of three home matches streamed on ESPN+ for the 2024 season. Fans are encouraged to wear red for the Red Out match.
The Cardinals (1-0) took down Purdue Fort Wayne 4-0 in last Thursday's season opener in Muncie, with Delaney Caldwell scoring consecutive goals early in the second half to increase the Ball State advantage to 3-0. Kaelyn Valleau lifted the lid with a score in the 27th minute for the only scoring of the first half, while LG Moncrief converted a penalty kick late to put a cap on the day's offense.
Indiana (1-0) opened its schedule with a 1-0 winning decision over Tennessee last Thursday night in Bloomington, as sophomore midfielder Kennedy Neighbors scored in the 50th minute. The Hoosiers went 12-4-4 (6-2-2 Big Ten) in 2023 to finish fifth in the league regular season standings and receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Junior goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg, sophomore defender Piper Coffield and graduate defender Avery Snead were IU's three on the Big Ten Players to Watch list. Gerstenberg is the reigning Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year who started 2024 with the shutout against the Lady Volunteers.
The head-to-head series is tied 1-1-2 with the most recent two battles ending in a draw (2022 and 2015). Ball State won the inaugural meeting 1-0 on Sept. 5, 2004.
Up Next
The Cardinals play at Butler on Thursday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. to continue their stretch of matches against in-state foes. Ball State's next home game is set for Sunday, Sept. 8 against Queens (Charlotte).
