INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI men's soccer game with Eastern Illinois on Wednesday's will now be played at the on-campus Michael A. Carroll Stadium at 3:00 p.m.. EIU's Lakeside Field has been left unplayable due to this weekend's storms, prompting a move to Indianapolis for the non-conference tilt. Admission will be FREE of charge. 

On the field, IUPUI (1-2-1, 1-0 HL) is coming off a 1-0 win over Detroit Mercy in both teams' Horizon League opener as freshman Quinn McCallion authored his first career shutout and junior Pedro Valladao tallied the game-winner late in regulation. McCallion was awarded Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week earlier this week for his efforts and now sports a 0.91 goals against average and 25 saves in his four career starts. The win snapped the Jaguars' 20-game winless streak dating back to the 2016 finale. 

Senior defender Sam Gavin set up Valladao's game-winner with long service off a restart from just inside midfield.

The defensive corps have done it all for the Jaguars' in the season's first four games as sophomore back Tommy Patacca scored twice in the 2-2 double overtime draw at Evansville. Freshman defender Corey Goede assisted on both scores and was awarded his first career start against Detroit Mercy. 

JAGS MAKING AN IMPACT: Last spring, the IUPUI men's soccer team signed Fishers-native Tyler Harris to a letter of intent to join the program through a partnership with Team IMPACT. Harris, an 11-year old battling cystic fibrosis, was on the sidelines for his first game when the Jaguars hosted Bradley earlier this season. Harris has already had a profound impact on the Jaguars' program as members of the team have also visiting the sixth-grader at home and have plans to support him at upcoming cross country meets and other events.

QUOTABLE: "I'm really proud and happy for our young men. We've been close and we've dealt with adversity, but tonight, I thought they showed some fortitude and fight in being able to get this win. Now we've put ourselves in a position where we're going to be one of the few teams that's undefeated to start league play and that means a lot to us. It's only a beginning, but I couldn't be happier for our guys to get this result," head coach Brian Barnett said after the win over Detroit Mercy. 

SCOUTING EASTERN ILLINOIS: Eastern Illinois comes in at 2-2-1 overall with early season wins over Mercer and Cincinnati. The Panthers have only yielded four goals in five games as starting keeper Jonathan Burke has a 0.77 goals against average and .826 save percentage. Christian Sosnowski has two of EIU's four goals while Shady Omar and Toby Andrews have the other two scores. Luke Kurili has the Panthers' lone assist of the season.

INSIDE THE SERIES: IUPUI is 6-4-5 all-time against Eastern Illinois in a series that dates back to 1999. The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in Indianapolis last season as Uriel Macias tallied for the Jaguars off a Gavin assist. Michael Buck drew the start in goal, making three saves.
