FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The IU Indianapolis women's soccer team will wrap up the regular season on Wednesday (Oct. 30) when the Jaguars take on in-state foe Purdue Fort Wayne at 2:00 p.m. The Jaguars punched their ticket to the upcoming Horizon League Tournament with a 3-0 win over Oakland at Carroll Stadium on Saturday. 

Graduate transfer Maia Ransom tallied a pair of goals in the victory, including scoring 13 seconds into the contest, and sophomore Lindsey Castillo added insurance. The goalkeeping duo of Ashton Kudlo and Emily Keck combined on a shutout, making three saves apiece. 

Ransom entered the Oakland match without a goal this season, but intercepted a pass off the opening kickoff and laced a long-distance shot past the OU keeper for her first tally. Just more than 10 minutes later, she found the back of the net again from a similar distance with a well delivered strike. Junior Emma Frey setup Castillo's score with a long lead pass up the right side to cap the game's scoring. 

Frey leads the team in points (13), followed closely by Caroline Kelley (11), Ransom (9) and Cassie Rodriguez (8). Frey continues to be the team's rock in the midfield, having missed just 25 minutes for the entire season.
