INDIANAPOLIS - The IUPUI men's soccer program has announced its 2023 schedule, highlighted by 10 home matches and road games at Northwestern, Notre Dame and Butler. Head coach Sid van Druenen's squad is coming off a Horizon League runner-up finish and 7-7-6 overall record. The Jaguars defeated Detroit Mercy and Wright State in last year's Horizon League Tournament before falling to Cleveland State in the championship game. 

This year's slate will open with preseason games against Northwestern (Aug. 13), Marian (Aug. 16) and Evansville (Aug. 20) before the regular season opener against Southern Indiana on Aug. 24. Other non-conference home matches will include meetings with Loyola Chicago (Sept. 12) and Bellarmine (Sept. 26) while non-league road trips will include matches at Notre Dame (Aug. 27), Dayton (Sept. 1), Eastern Illinois (Sept. 5), Butler (Oct. 3) and Western Illinois (Oct. 10). 

Horizon League play will open on Sept. 9 when the Jaguars host Wright State at the on-campus Michael A. Carroll Stadium. 

The Jaguars, who scored a program Division I record 31 goals last season, bring back the bulk of the team's scoring in Lukas Hackaa (8 goals, 9 assists), Josemir Gomez (9 goals, 3 assists) and Logan Finnegan (6 goals, 4 assists). Other key returners include Dominic Breidenbach (19 starts, 3 assists), Medard Mikobi (17 starts, 3 assists) and Edgar Correia (14 starts, 3 assists). 

In goal, fifth-year senior Lucas Morefield returns, having made 33 career starts with a 1.64 goals against average and seven shutouts. He's been IUPUI's primary starter in goal each of the past two seasons.
