Indiana University's women's soccer squad will welcome Bellarmine University to Bill Armstrong Stadium on Saturday night for a senior night celebration that will honor nine graduating players.
The Hoosiers arrive after a 3‑1 victory over Youngstown State, a match highlighted by redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Jenkins, who turned away eight of nine shots on goal and helped preserve a near‑shutout.
Head coach Josh Rife, in his second season, has emphasized tightening a backline that has allowed just one goal across the last three home fixtures, while also looking to exploit the offensive chemistry between midfielder Kennedy Neighbors and forward Aleyna Quinn, who combined for a goal earlier this season.
A Milestone Night
Bellarmine, fresh from a 1‑0 loss to Lindenwood, will attempt to rebound after a narrow 2‑1 defeat in last season's meeting in Bloomington. Coach Steve Bornhoffer, who returned for his second year after guiding the Knights to an 11‑6‑3 record, is expected to bring a disciplined approach to the contest.
The game is scheduled for August 21 at 8 p.m. local time and will be streamed live on B1G+, where reporters Will Kwiatkowski and Leonardo Vesperini will provide updates throughout the season.
With the senior class poised to leave a lasting imprint, the Hoosiers hope to translate their recent resilience into a decisive performance that could set the tone for the remainder of the schedule.
