Overtime goal wins game

Streaks are meant to come to an end, but on Sunday afternoon, the IU men's soccer team was not quite ready to allow Michigan to break their winning streak in conference games. The No. 4 ranked Hoosiers were taken to the limit by the Wolverines, but they prevailed with a 2-1 overtime win to extend their Big Ten conference winning streak to 33.\nIU (8-1-2, 3-0 Big Ten) has now defeated Michigan (3-5-1, 0-2) all four times since the Wolverines' soccer team entered the conference in 2000. Michigan's goal in Sunday's game marked the first goal they have scored on the Hoosiers in those four games.\nDespite the match being close throughout, IU coach Jerry Yeagley was not very concerned with Michigan's threat to score.\n"When you look at the stats and the chances that were created, I really never feared them other than on their restarts," Yeagley said. "They are big and athletic and are a tough team to handle. On the counter they had some speed. It was a game that we certainly should have won in regulation and it was a just result."\nAfter physical play in the second half and early in the overtime, IU was able to break the 1-1 tie with just 1 minute, 38 seconds remaining in the extra period. \nThe game winning goal was an unassisted put back on a rebound by junior midfielder Vijay Dias, it was Dias' second goal of the season.\nJunior David Prall hit senior Pat Noonan with a long ball along the left sideline for the Hoosiers. Noonan heel touched the ball to Dias who was making a run towards the goal. Dias completed a give and go with senior Ryan Mack and then put a shot on goal. Wolverine sophomore goalkeeper Joe Zawacki made an initial save, but the ball came back to Dias and with Zawacki sprawled on the ground, Dias placed a shot into the top left corner of the goal.\nThe goal was Dias' sixth in his three-year Hoosier career and he said it was nice to be able to be a goal scoring factor like he used to be prior to his days at IU.\n"Back in high school, it was my job to score goals all the time," Dias said. "With known goal scorers like Pat (Noonan) and Ryan Mack, you try and do your part. I like contributing more and would like to score more goals too."\nSophomore midfielder Ned Grabavoy extended his consecutive games scoring streak to six games as he notched the first Hoosier goal at 28:04 into the first half. Grabavoy drew a foul just outside the Michigan penalty box as he sliced through three Michigan defenders. On the ensuing free kick, Grabavoy curled his shot around the Wolverine wall of defenders and into the top left corner of the goal. It was Grabavoy's third goal and twelfth point on the season.\nGrabavoy said he felt confident prior to the kick that he had a chance to put the Hoosiers up early.\n"I told Patty (Noonan) to let me take it and that I was going to hit it far post, because the wind was going that way and I thought I would catch the keeper off guard and I did," Grabavoy said.\nThe Wolverines answered with just 4:35 remaining in the half when sophomore forward Mychal Turpin controlled a loose ball in the IU box and drilled a shot into the lower right corner, just off the fingertips of diving Hoosier keeper sophomore Jay Nolly.\nThe Hoosiers will return to action 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11, against Wisconsin at Bill Armstrong Stadium.
