INDIANAPOLIS - Having already secured a spot in the six-team Horizon League Tournament, the IUPUI women's soccer team will host Green Bay (7-9-1, 1-6-1 HL) on Friday (Nov. 1) at 2:00 p.m. at the on-campus Michael A. Carroll Stadium with major seeding implications on the line. Head coach Chris Johnson's team can still finish as high as the No. 2 seed and earn a first round bye and a trip to Milwaukee. The Jaguars are coming off an impressive 3-0 victory over Wright State this past weekend, fueled by a pair of goals from junior Valentine Pursey and a late insurance tally from Elizabeth Bueckers.
