FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The IU Indianapolis women's soccer team brought its regular season to a close on Wednesday (Oct. 30) with a 3-0 road loss at Purdue Fort Wayne. The Jaguars, who had already clinched a spot in the upcoming Horizon League Tournament, missed out on the opportunity to potentially host a first round tournament game with the defeat. 

Purdue Fort Wayne's Scarlett Webster scored the game's first two goals and Gigi Ricciardi added a late marker in the 85th minute. 

The Mastodons (9-9-1, 4-6 HL) were the aggressors from the outset, putting immediate pressure on the Jags defense and senior goalkeeper Ashton Kudlo. Webster finally broke through in the 34th minute when she redirected a shot just over the head of Kudlo from in close off a cross from Lauren Klusek. The Jaguars attempted just three shots in the opening stanza with the lone one on frame coming from Bethany Hartigan in the 42nd minute. 

IU Indy (5-10-3, 4-4-2 HL) hunted an equalizer early in the second half, largely behind Maia Ransom, but was unable to build much against the Mastodon defense. Webster tallied again in the 62nd minute when her initial attempt was blocked, but she put the rebound past Kudlo for her fourth score of the year. 

Ricciardi turned in late insurance with a free kick in the 85th minute for her fourth score of the year. 

The Jaguars were outshot 17-5 overall and 7-1 on target as Kudlo finished with four saves. Hartigan had a team-high two shot attempts in 54 minutes off the bench. 

The Jaguars will hit the road for the Horizon League Quarterfinals on Sunday (Nov. 3) at 1:00 p.m. and face No. 4 Robert Morris at the AHN Montour Sports Complex.
