DAYTON, Ohio - The IU Indianapolis women's soccer team will embark on an important week of Horizon League action as the Jaguars travel to Wright State on Thursday (Oct. 17) before returning home to host Milwaukee on Sunday (Oct. 20). Both matches will be broadcast on ESPN+. 

The Jaguars (4-8-2, 3-2-1 HL) are looking to rebound from a tough 2-1 loss at Northern Kentucky on Sunday as they dropped a 2-1 road decision. Junior Emma Frey deposited a late score as the Jaguars attempted to rally from a 2-0 hole. Head coach Chris Johnson's team has shown more balance in the attack of late as Frey leads the team with 12 points (4 goals, 4 assists) and sophomore Caroline Kelley has a team-high five goals, including two game-winners. Both Cassie Rodriguez and Hannah Roberson have three goals each with two of Roberson's tallies being game-winners. 

Kailyn Smith and Katie Hoog continue to anchor the back line of the IU Indy defense while junior Sarah Henson also ranks among the team leaders in minutes played from her left back spot. In goal, senior Ashton Kudlo has been strong with a 1.76 goals against average and .744 save percentage in her 14 starts. 

The Jaguars sit fifth in the Horizon League standings, having collected 10 points in the season's first six games. The top six teams will advance to the Horizon League Tournament with the Nos. 3 and 4 seeds hosting quarterfinal matchups on campus on Sunday, Nov. 3. Winners will advance to the semifinals, hosted on the campus of the regular season champion.

SCTOP10 X 2
Junior midfielder Emma Frey was featured on ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 plays twice last week with a pair of strikes. Against Green Bay, she converted a well devised free kick off a back heel pass from Cassie Rodriguez for the game's first goal in the 4-1 victory.
