BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Avery Lockwood scored her first goal of the season to help the Hoosiers win 1-0 over UT Martin on Thursday at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
 
KEY MOMENTS
• Lockwood crossed midfield and dribbled down to 25 yards out before launching a shot to the lower right corner to put the Hoosiers on the board in the 38^th minute.
• Indiana goalkeeper Jamie Gerstenberg made a save in the 28^th minute at the bottom of the goal for the Hoosiers.
• In the 72^nd minute Anna Bennett had a great chance with a shot, but came up a bit short.

NOTABLES
• Indiana improves to 2-0-1 on the season. UT Martin falls to 1-1-1.
• For Lockwood it was her first goal of the season and the eighth of her career.
• The Hoosier defense did not allow a goal for the third straight game.
• Indiana held an 8-4 shot advantage and allowed just one shot on goal.

IU has the same problem they did last year along with the basketball team in that they cannot score at a high level. 

Their defense is very good and their floor is substantially higher as result. However, to get to the tournament again like they want their offense needs to be much better. 

Scoring only one goal each against mediocre Valpo and UT Martin doesn't bode well unless some changes are made and IU will need to win a lot of 1-0 games (which they are capable of potentially) which is a lot to ask once Big Ten play starts.

On Sunday, the Hoosiers travel to face Memphis at 2:00.  The Memphis Tigers are 1-0-1 on the season with a 4-0 win over Southeast Missouri State, who the Hoosiers will play later this season. On Sunday Aug. 22 Memphis played to a 1-1 draw against No. 23 Ole Miss. Memphis holds a 43-8 shot advantage over their two opponents combined this season.

Offense is struggling a bit, but defense looks like it can hold up against anyone. Should be an exciting season and intrigued by the improvements the coach has made to the program.

No score at the half in Memphis where the temp is in the low 90's and the dreaded heat index is in triple digits.

Stordy of Memphis given a yellow card.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,110]

Memphis wins 1-0 on a goal in 48'.  A very physical Memphis team as you can tell from the 24 fouls assessed against them including 3 players assessed yellow cards.  Camille Hamm of IU also assessed a yellow card.  Next Thursday evening, Hoosiers host Western Michigan and next Sunday evening they host Southeast Missouri State.

SCOUTING WESTERN MICHIGAN

They have scored five goals on the season on 33 total shots.
 
MAKING HISTORY AT NOTRE DAME
For the first time in program history the Hoosiers got a result against Notre Dame. 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.
