INDIANAPOLIS – The IU Indy women’s soccer team is preparing to face Detroit Mercy on Saturday, October 4, at 2:00 PM as they aim to build on their recent momentum from a key conference victory over Cleveland State. With an overall record of 2-8-1 and 1-2 in Horizon League (HL) action, the Jaguars are looking to improve their standings against a struggling Titans team.
In their last match, the Jaguars secured a significant win, largely thanks to the efforts of sophomore Keilah Muldrow. Coming off the bench, Muldrow not only scored one goal but also provided two critical assists during the game. She assisted senior Emma Frey within the first 30 minutes, which allowed Frey to net a goal at the back post. Muldrow continued to make her mark by assisting freshman Anika Guenther in scoring just before halftime, and later, she scored a goal herself, receiving a pass from Guenther in the final ten minutes of play. Muldrow currently leads the Jaguars with six points, which include two goals and two assists through 11 games.
Aside from Muldrow, five other teammates are currently tied with three points each: Frey, Guenther, Olivia Hopper, Maci Sammons, and Hannah Roberson. All have contributed one goal and one assist. On the defensive end, three Jaguars have logged over 900 minutes of game time this season, with Frey taking the lead at 990 minutes.
Head coach Angela Berry White has highlighted the team’s hard work and resilience amid earlier setbacks and injuries. The upcoming match marks a crucial opportunity for IU Indy to capitalize on their recent success as they face off against Detroit Mercy.
Detroit Mercy enters the match with a record of 2-9-1 and remains winless in Horizon League play at 0-3-1. The Titans began their season positively with a win against Valparaiso but struggled in subsequent matches against formidable opponents such as Michigan, Kentucky, Louisville, and Bowling Green. They did, however, achieve a remarkable 8-0 victory against Madonna, where senior Soraya Puerto-Khalil, senior Abbey Lodato, and junior Jada Rivera each scored two goals. Currently, Abbey Lodato stands as the team’s point leader with 18 points, comprising seven goals and four assists, while Puerto-Khalil and Rivera follow with seven points each.
Beyond individual performances, six Titans have logged over 750 minutes of playtime this season, with Ashley Bates leading with 814 minutes. The upcoming match will be essential for Detroit Mercy as they strive to turn their season around against the Jaguars.
The all-time series between IU Indy and Detroit Mercy is closely contested, with IU Indy holding a slight edge at 8-7-4. However, the Jaguars are looking for redemption following their last matchup, where they lost 3-2 to the Titans. Following the confrontation with Detroit Mercy, IU Indy will return home to host Robert Morris on Thursday, October 9, at 7:00 PM at Carroll Stadium, where they hope to maintain the positive trajectory established in their previous matchup.
