Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
Halftime Thoughts:
- IU came out rough, allowing Washington's elite attackers to dictate the game
- IU settled in and dictated the pace for the last 35 minutes of the half
- Njike has been lethal all game long
- IU's backline is doing a great job dealing with this Husky attack
- Mroz has had his best game so far, being tested, but not allowing anything to get through
Halftime Thoughts
Indiana leads No. 16 Washington 1-0 at halftime after Easton Bogard headed in a great cross from Stephane Njike in the 16th minute. Washington’s aggressive press and fast pace made it difficult for the Hoosiers to build early, but Indiana settled in after the goal and began creating more opportunities through Njike and Oliver Moller-Jensen.
Michal Mroz has been huge in goal, making 3 saves (one away from his season high). Indiana has handled Washington’s pressure well so far, but it will need to limit turnovers and remain composed against the press in the second half.
Second half is underway
Mroz with another save in the 48' minute.

First challenge of the game:

1-0 50'
52' IU created 3 opportunities, but Washington holds strong
Washington has flipped the game and is dominating possession again
Washington shot in the 56' minute sailed over the net
1-0 IU
Washington keeps knocking, but IU isn't listening. Washington averages 3.1 goals per game, and hasn't been shut out ever
With how this half is going, you gotta wonder when Njike check back in. IU could use his offense
