No. 3 Indiana Shutters Notre Dame for Fifth Straight Win
9/7/2025 10:27:00 PM | Men's Soccer
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — No. 3-ranked Indiana men's soccer (5-0-1) made it five consecutive victories and six games unbeaten, defeating Notre Dame (1-1-2) 1-0 in its first road contest Sunday (Sept. 7) night at Alumni Stadium.
For the second straight match a goal from junior forward Collins Oduro made the difference as Indiana claimed the clean sheet in a third consecutive match.
KEY MOMENTS
• 35' – GOAL! Senior forward Palmer Ault beat two Notre Dame defenders to a ball on the left wing. His ball across missed sophomore forward Easton Bogard but leaked to an unmarked Oduro, who first-touch slammed it home. Indiana 1, Notre Dame 0
• 38' – Indiana nearly doubled its lead three minutes later as a great bit of combination play between senior Jack Wagoner and Bogard gave Wagoner a one-on-one chance with the keeper. The keeper came off his line just in time and pushed it away.
• 71' – The referee went to VAR to check for a Notre Dame penalty after Fighting Irish junior midfielder Nico Bartlett wriggled into and went down in the box. After review, the man in the middle upheld his no-call.
• 75' – A long ball found Ault free up field. Ault tried to bend his attempt around the Notre Dame sophomore Blake Kelly, but the Irish goalkeeper made himself big and pushed it away.
NOTABLES
• IU's 5-0-1 start marks its best since 1997 (6-0-0). The Hoosiers have won their last five since an opening night draw with No. 9 Clemson.
• Indiana earned its third consecutive clean sheet. IU has kept its opponents scoreless in its last 358 minutes of regulation. Brown improved to 5-0-0.
• In the 50th matchup between the teams, Indiana improved to 34-10-6 against the Fighting Irish all-time.
• Oduro's goal was his second in two games. The junior has record six points this season from two goals and two assists. Saturday's match marked Oduro's 50th appearance for the Cream and Crimson.
• Junior forward Clay Murador made his season debut after missing the first five matches to injury. Murador played 26 minutes Sunday night.
