Soccer fails to score

The Iowa soccer team lost a match to No. 24 Indiana, 2-0, on Sunday in Bloomington, Ind.

The Hawkeyes (8-9, 0-7) gave up the first goal to the Hoosiers in the 84th minute off a rebound.

Indiana then scored its second goal on a breakaway at the 89:50 mark — 10 seconds before time ran out.

Iowa senior Alex Seydel led the Hawkeye offense with three shots, two on goal. The midfielder took a penalty kick in the 87th minute but was unsuccessful.

Sophomore goalkeeper Emily Moran collected four saves in the match.

Iowa remains winless in the conference and in last place in the Big Ten standings.

“I think that we got punished for some mistakes we made,” Iowa head coach Ron Rainey said. “We have to finish on chances we created. Their goalkeeper made a great save on a penalty kick that was the difference between tying the game up … We have to work hard in practice this week to get ready for Senior Night on Friday.”

The Hawkeyes have three matches left this season, and they will host Michigan at the Iowa Soccer Complex at 7 p.m. Friday.
