A storied rivalry returns to the pitch
On August 28, the Bowling Green Falcons will travel to Indianapolis to face the IU Indy Jaguars in a non‑conference men’s soccer match scheduled for 7:00 p.m. local time.
The Falcons hold a 7‑1‑4 edge in the all‑time series and have not lost to the Jaguars since 2004, riding an 11‑match unbeaten streak that stretches back nearly two decades.
Recent form and early season results
Both programs entered the season with 1‑1‑0 records after opening with narrow defeats and victories, setting the stage for a contest that could shape early conference standings.
The Falcons' season opener ended in a 3‑0 loss to Duquesne, but four different players found the net, surpassing last season’s total of goal‑scorers.
IU Indy opened with a 2‑1 defeat to Louisville before rebounding with a win over Lindenwood, leaving only senior forward Jose Antonio Herrera with a goal to his name.
Key performers to watch
Freshman defender Aidan Flanders will anchor the Falcons’ back line, while midfielder Caue Ramos looks to add creativity and goal‑scoring depth after finding the net in the season opener.
For the Jaguars, midfielders Santiago Sanchez and Jai Dindiyal have already generated the second‑most shots and shots on goal on the team, while Herrera remains the sole scorer so far.
Trace Terry, a fifth‑year striker, scored two goals before NCAA eligibility restrictions barred him from the Duquesne match, forcing younger players such as Tyson McCoy and Lucas Brinkman to step up.
Looking ahead
The game in Indianapolis marks the first of two meetings before the Falcons return home, where they will host Wake Forest in a test of early‑season momentum.
Fans can catch the live broadcast on the university’s sports network, with streaming options available through the official athletics sites.
