BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 3-ranked Indiana men's soccer (4-0-1) earned its second-straight clean sheet, fourth consecutive victory and remains unbeaten in five matches this season thanks to a 1-0 shutout victory over No. 15-ranked, previously undefeated Saint Louis (2-1-1) Wednesday (Sept. 3) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

A seventh-minute Collins Oduro goal – and a bend-don't-break defensive effort – made the difference in IU's second ranked, shutout victory in two games. Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week Holden Brown made four saves, and his defenders added two more to the team tally.

KEY MOMENTS
• 7' – GOAL! Oduro pulled down a clearance at the top of the box, dribbled past a defender around the edge and found space to shoot. His attempt split two more defenders and rocketed past the diving keeper into goal. Indiana 1, Saint Louis 0
• 49' – Junior defender Alex Barger nearly doubled IU's lead out of the break, the left back's shot to the back post forcing a kick-save from the Saint Louis goalkeeper.
• 50' – The referee awarded a penalty to Indiana for an apparent foul against sophomore forward Michael Nesci, but a VAR check overturned the call on the field.
• 66' – Indiana survived a barrage as Saint Louis put together three great chances in the 64th, 65th and 66th minutes. In the 64th minute, the ball sat on the goal-line for four seconds as sophomore defender Josh Maher and redshirt junior defender Breckin Minzey tried to clear it past SLU's freshman forward Theo Franca, who was on the floor. Brown, who had come off his line, finally claimed it among the chaos. After the VAR check, Saint Louis saw shots saved by Brown, Minzey and the crossbar all in the 65th minute. Brown made another save in the 66th.

NOTABLES
• Indiana remains unbeaten in its last 12 home matches going back to the 2024 season, owning a 10-0-2 record in that span.
• Head coach Todd Yeagley earned his 60th victory against ranked opponents, improving his record against Top 25 teams to 60-37-20.
• IU's 4-0-1 start marks its best since 2017 (also 4-0-1). The Hoosiers had a near-perfect season-opening homestand, winning four of five matches against three ranked opponents while also overcoming deficits on three occasions.
• Indiana improved to 25-10-4 in the all-time series with Saint Louis, winning eight of the last nine contests.
• Oduro's goal was the first allowed by Saint Louis this season, as the Billikens shut out their first three opponents.
• Maher returned from injury, appearing for the first time since the opener versus Clemson (Aug. 21) and earned his first involvement in a clean sheet.
