Soccer Hosting IU Indy Thursday to Wrap Up Nonconference Play
September 11, 2024 | Soccer
The Ball State soccer team remains at home for its second contest of a three-match homestand when it hosts IU Indy at 4 p.m. on Thursday at the Briner Sports Complex.
The game will be streamed on ESPN+, and links to the video stream and live stats can be found above and on the schedule page.
The Cardinals (4-2) have won three in a row and will look to continue the winning streak against the Jaguars (1-5-1). IU Indy changed its name from IUPUI over the summer.
Ball State leads the historical series with the Jaguars 5-3-2, but the two squads haven't faced off since 2017. This will be the Cardinals' fourth in-state opponent of the year after playing Purdue Fort Wayne, Indiana and Butler for the first three games of the year in August.
The Cardinals exploded for six goals in the second half Sunday to beat Queens 7-1 in Muncie. The seven goals represented only the third time in program history that high of an offensive output has been reached. Ball State hadn't scored seven goals in a match since 2001 (Oct. 1 vs Taylor).
Junior forward Delaney Caldwell was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week for her efforts against both Austin Peay and Queens when she scored the game-winning goals in both matches and added three assists against the Royals.
SCOUTING IU INDY: The Jags are coming off a 3-1 loss vs common opponent Butler last Sunday and tied Toledo 1-1 in the season opener on Aug. 15 in Indianapolis. IU Indy got its first win of the year last Thursday against Eastern Illinois (2-0).
The Jaguars stand at second in the 11-team Horizon League in saves per game (5.86) and third in total assists (six) and assists per game (0.86).
Sophomore forward Caroline Kennedy's three goals on the year are the most in the Horizon League, while her 57.1 shot on goal percentage is the second-best in the league.
Up Next
The Cardinals get the weekend off before concluding their three-game homestretch and beginning MAC play at 4 p.m. on Sept. 19 against Bowling Green.
