I am on-site for IU men's soccer vs Notre Dame. More to come:
Each of the last 10 matchups vs Notre Dame hase resulted in a one-goal difference or a draw.
Indiana reloaded this offseason with the top-ranked transfer portal class per Top Drawer Soccer. 8 total guys, loaded with NCAA Tournament Experience.
Starting Lineup. Indiana is notably without Njike and Oduro, both of whom are out. These are Indiana's top two forwards, so a big hit.
Indiana staying in their 4-3-3
Njike and Oduro are both in street clothes

Evan Lim for ND makes a terrible blunder ands allows a goal, giving Oliver Moller-Jensen the opportunity for a goal to the left side of the net.
IU 1-0
Lots of long balls, with just praying that the ball will roll the right way. 27 minutes left in half
1-0 IU
ND's passes aren't as sharp as Indiana's and it appears like IU might break through with another one off of an ND mistake
1-0 IU, 24 minutes left

Wes Carnevale gets too excited, when he could have settled down and found a pass, and IU messes up a prime opportunity
Sean Mcdowd saved a probable goal for IU. IU corner kick goes nowhere
IU defense continued to stay strong when ND got their first shot on goal of the night with 20 minutes left
1-0
Oliver Moller-Jenson with his third shot, which was blocked. IU corner sets up another corner which would've set up a goal if ND goalie had been worse. but ND goalie with amazing save
IU 1-0
