JAG SCRATCHES

• Senior midfielder Yan Souza was named the Horizon League's Offensive Player of the Week this week after tallying the game-winner in the Jags' 2-1 win at Northern Kentucky in the game's 89th minute. Souza took a feed from Alan Aguilar and drove a shot off an NKU defender and into the open net. Cincinnati-native Chris Workman also scored his first career goal in that game as he was playing just minutes from his hometown.

• Aguilar fueled the Jaguars' 2-0 win over Purdue Fort Wayne, tallying goals in the 61st and 64th minutes. The winner came off assists from Gianni Catenacci and Fernando Borges and he added insurance just more than three minutes later by converting the fourth penalty kick of his career. 
• Souza has a team-high three goals while Catenacci has a team-high three assists in five games. 
• Sophomore goalkeeper Quinn McCallion has been brilliant this season, registering a 0.95 goals against average and 15 saves in 473 minutes of action. He registered his first shutout of the season against Purdue Fort Wayne. 
• Junior back Tommy Patacca has yet to come off the field so far this season while Catenacci is second on the team with 446 minutes of action. 
• IUPUI went 5-10-4 last season and 4-3-1 in Horizon League play, earning a spot in the league's postseason tournament. The Jags then won the program's first postseason match since 2007 by upsetting Green Bay in the opening round. IUPUI later took eventual league champion UIC to penalty kicks in the semifinals round. 
• Dating back to last season, IUPUI is 4-2-2 in the last eight matches, having closed last season with back-to-back wins over Northern Kentucky and Green Bay, followed by a draw with eventual league champion UIC in the Horizon League Tournament. 
• The Jaguars were picked to finish seventh in the Horizon League, according to the league's preseason polls.  
• IUPUI returns its top two scorers from a season ago in senior midfielder Alan Aguilar (11 points) and sophomore back Corey Goede (eight points). In addition, McCallion (1.22 GAA) returns in net and five other starters - Tommy Patacca, Cameron Petersen, Anthony Saporito, Shives and Pedro Valladao - all return. 
• All total, IUPUI returns 14 of the team's 17 goals from a season ago. 
• Head coach Brian Barnett is in his fourth season on the Jaguars' sidelines.
