Greyhounds Edge Past Lake Erie Storm in Season‑Opening Soccer Showdown

A late header by Saul Greenwood lifts UIndy to a 1‑0 victory, highlighting dominant possession and a stellar performance by goalkeeper Rick Lammerts

The University of Indianapolis men's soccer squad began its 2026 campaign on home turf, facing the Lake Erie Storm in a tightly contested match that ended 1‑0 in favor of the Greyhounds.

From the opening whistle, the Storm pressed early, earning two corner kicks within the first five minutes, but the Greyhounds quickly asserted control over possession and created a series of chances.

A Header That Changed the Game

The decisive moment arrived in the 65th minute when a well‑placed corner from Shayne Abrams found Carson Nolan, whose cross was met by Saul Greenwood's header, delivering the game‑winning goal and marking Greenwood's first career tally.

Goalkeeper Rick Lammerts was instrumental, making six saves — including several point‑blank stops — to preserve the clean sheet and earn the team's second shutout of the season.

Overall, the Greyhounds outshot the Storm 4‑1, maintained superior ball control, and will look to build on the performance when they travel to face the University of Findlay on September 2.
