So out side of Creighton not a great opening day.
3-2-5.

I was not at the game, but the stats were heavy towards G'town. Shots were 14 to 9 and Corners 10 to 2. IU has a very young team, with seven of their players taking the field for the first time. Attendance was solid at 5000. IU was the preseason pick to finish 5th of the 9 Big Ten schools that play men's soccer.

Yeah would've been nice to pull off the win, but not terrible since it was the first game and @ Indiana. Will be very interesting to see if we can get a result vs. ND today.

Bad results for Marquette, Xavier, and St. John's who all continue to struggle.

Georgetown's 2 ties look decent after both teams beat marquette.

Creighton and Providence both had good weekends

and Butler and Seton Hall remain undefeated as well.

And Marquette drops completely out of the poll.

Here are the 4 major college soccer polls:

We have had a rough stretch so far. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with the team. We begin a 4 game home stand tomorrow (Gonzaga, Oregon State, Drake, UW-Milwaukee). With any luck we go 4-0, although you never can tell. Fingers crossed that we can come into conference play at 5-2.

More concerned about the Marquette women's team than the mens. The Men lost to the #1 team and a team that is one of the most storied in College Soccer at their place and they're now ranked in the top 15. The women lost to 2 unranked teams and a team that was top 25 but also lost some games so also dropped out of the polls with Marquette.
