The University of Southern Indiana women’s soccer team completed a road trip sweep with a 1-0 victory over University of Indianapolis Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis, Indiana. USI watched its record rise to 7-4-0 overall and 4-4-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference, while UIndy goes to 4-6-0, 3-5-0 GLVC.
With the victory, USI has won three-straight matches and completed a conference road trip sweep for the first time since 2012.
After a scoreless opening half, the Screaming Eagles took command at 64:52 of the second half on a goal by junior midfielder Carlie Scales (Evansville, Indiana) to give USI a 1-0 lead. Scales’ unassisted goal was her third of the season and her first game-winner of the fall.
In goal, sophomore Emily Hopkins (Greenfield, Indiana) recorded her second consecutive shutout. Hopkins faced 10 shots, making a season-high eight saves, in the win.
USI returns to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field October 7 at 5 p.m. when they start a home weekend against William Jewell College. USI concludes the short two-match homestand October 9 at noon when it hosts Rockhurst University.
