Sunday will be Senior Day as the Hoosiers host Southeast Missouri State at 7pm. SCOUTING WESTERN MICHIGAN The Broncos are 2-2 on the season and are coming off a 4-0 win against IUPUI on Sunday.

SCOUTING SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE The Redhawks are 2-2 on the season and most recently host a 1-0 match at Mississippi State.

On Sunday the Hoosiers and Fighting Irish battled to a 0-0 draw. Previously the Hoosiers were 0-11 all-time against Notre Dame. FRESHMEN CONNECTION In the Hoosiers home opening win over Valpo, it was the freshmen connection of Camille Hamm to Jordyn Levy that provided victory for the Hoosiers. Hamm sent a ball to Levy, who put it away for the game-winning goal. 2021 SPRING SEASON The 2021 spring season was historic for the Hoosiers. Indiana tied a program record for Big Ten wins and established a new school record for Big Ten points in a season with 19. On March 2, the Hoosiers were ranked in the top-25 for the first time since 2013. PRESEASON POLL AND HONORS The Big Ten announced its Women's Soccer Preseason Players to Watch List on Monday with senior Hanna Nemeth, junior Avery Lockwood and freshman Jamie Gerstenberg representing Indiana. In addition, the preseason poll was unveiled with the Hoosiers coming in in sixth place. Both were voted on by the conference coaches. Lockwood, a midfielder from Grand Rapids, Mich., earned All-Big Ten Third Team honors and was selected by the United Soccer Coaches to the All-North Region third team in the 2021 spring season. Lockwood, a leader for Indiana's offense, scored a couple of game winners against Michigan and Michigan State. She started in all 12 games tallying a total of 24 shots and 15 shots on goal. Nemeth scored her first career goal against Penn State on March 4 and held Indiana's back line strong aiding the Hoosiers four shutouts, including a shutout of Michigan for the first time since 2009. NEW FACES FOR THE HOOSIERS The Hoosiers have several new players on the roster that should see playing time this season. Among them are eight freshmen and three transfers. The Hoosiers return their entire starting lineup from the 2021 spring season as well. TOKYO OLYMPICS Sophomore Gabi Rennie made the New Zealand national team for the Tokyo Olympics. In New Zealand's first match of the Olympics, against Australia, Rennie entered the game in the 89th minute and two minutes later scored a goal on her only touch of the game. It was extra special for Rennie as her brother Liam, a member of the New Zealand media attended the game.

Fears will be in Bloomington for the Cincinnati game.

And Florida it is per Alex Karamanos of The Circuit.

He was likely confused as he was in the act of pulling up his pants while at the same time clapping his hands.

Brandon Jenkins of 247 on Cupps https://247sports.com/Article/Gabe-Cupps-Big-Ten-Clemson-Michigan-Ohio-State-Indiana-Basketball-Recruiting-169942924/ Indiana: "Brian Walsh has been talking to me the most but Mike Woodson texts and calls me every so often. I took a visit over there with my teammate Reed Sheppard last month. I like how they are a basketball school and I love the people who are around it. Brian Walsh has done a great job of recruiting me and has been on me for a while. I really take notice of how long he has been recruiting me and how much effort he has put in. I also really like how Coach Woodson operates and how he talks to me. He comes across as a humble, yet confident guy who wants to bring Indiana basketball back. I think that is a cool thing they have to offer."

Someone mentioned several days ago that Dorman HS is not a small school and that is absolutely true. Latest data I found for Dorman is a high school enrollment of 2,558. That would make Dorman the 16th largest high school in Indiana falling between Brownsburg (2,711) and Lawrence North (2,524). It's arena seats 3,200 and compares to a few others as follows. 5,500 Center Grove 3,200 McCutcheon 3,000 Bloomington South 1,500 Culver Military Academy

Another addition to the '22 class. Matthew Cuzco is a RHP/1B at St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago. Matthew Cuzco @mattcuzco I am extremely proud & honored to announce I will be continuing my academic & athletic careers at Indiana University! I want to thank God, my parents, & my coaches for helping me get to this point & to the Indiana coaching staff for giving me this opportunity! Go Hoosiers! Prep Baseball Report Perfect Game

One of the last quotes from Clowney in the Q and A tells me he really liked what he saw and experienced and don't think he was scared off in any way. In addition, I felt the tweet from his mother after their visit was genuine and not just a formality. "But when I was there (at IU) I was having fun. Usually I would be ready to get back home but there I would have stayed more nights because I was enjoying it."
