MOSCOW, Idaho - The IU Indianapolis women's soccer program will embark on a tough two-game trip this week as the Jaguars will face Idaho on Thursday night (Aug. 28) and Montana on Sunday (Sept. 1). Both contests against Big Sky opponents will be broadcast on ESPN+. 

IU Indy (0-2-1) is coming off a tough week as the Jaguars dropped road contests at Lindenwood and Southern Illinois on the road. The Jaguars were blanked at Lindenwood by a 2-0 score and followed with a 3-1 defeat at SIU. Junior Emma Frey netted her fourth career goal in the closing moments of the loss to the Salukis. 

The Jaguars' depth has been tested at the start of the year as all-league performers Emma Antoine and Kailyn Smith have missed time due to injuries. Frey leads the team in minutes (263), followed closely by senior defender Makenna Collins (257), sophomore defender Katie Hoog (245) and graduate transfer defender Maia Ransom (244). 

Sophomore Caroline Kelley, who tallied in the season opening draw with Toledo, is next in line with 235 minutes of action. In goal, senior Ashton Kudlo has a 2.40 goals against average and .571 save percentage in three starts while Emily Keck owns 45 clean minutes in her lone appearance. 

SCOUTING IDAHO: Idaho (2-2) is coming off a 2-1 loss at Washington State and will be playing its home opener on Thursday night. Sienna Gonzales and Margo Schoesler lead the Vandals with two goals apiece and five different players have at least one tally. Paula Flores has played all 360 minutes in net for Idaho, registering a 1.50 goals against average and .769 save percentage. In four games, Idaho has outscored opponents by a 7-6 margin. 

SCOUTING MONTANA: Montana (3-1) is coming off a 2-0 win over MSU Billings and its lone loss of the season has also come to Washington State. Riley O'Brien leads Montana with a pair of goals, both coming off the bench. Ashlyn Dvorak has played all 360 minutes in net for the Griz with a 0.75 goals against average and .727 save percentage with three shutouts. Montana has outscored foes by a 6-3 margin to start the year. 

SERIES RESULTS: Both matches this week will mark the first-ever meetings between the two schools. 

UP NEXT: The Jaguars will return home to host Eastern Illinois (Sept. 5) and Butler (Sept. 8) at Michael A. Carroll Stadium. Both contests will be streamed on ESPN+.
