Deceiving shot total yields 1 goal as IU wins 4th straight, increases unbeaten streakto six games.

If ever a score is not indicative of a game, Wednesday night's 1-0 victory over IUPUI provided a great example as the Hoosiers, (6-4-3, 3-0-1 Big Ten) outshot the Jaguars 32-2, extending their winning streak to four and unbeaten streak to six. \nThe victory marks the second straight one-goal win over IUPUI, (1-11-2) and pushes IU's shutout streak to three games. The Hoosiers last allowed a goal 18 minutes into the first half against Michigan. \n"It was a 1-0 win, but it could have easily been 10-0," coach Jerry Yeagley said. "We played to a high level and sometimes when you play a struggling team you tend to lower your performance. But I thought except for the final third of the game, we played very well." \nWith 14:28 remaining in the first half, junior Ned Grabavoy played a ball from about 30 yards out into the box, where sophomore Brian Plotkin, off of a quick bounce, fired it into the back left corner of the net. The goal was Plotkin's third of the season, while Grabavoy tallied his team leading fifth assist and 21st point.\n"I was just making my run and Ned played a great ball in and it was kind of skipping so I just turned to swing and got lucky as it went right in the corner," Plotkin said. "We've had trouble putting in consistent offensive performances, and with the way we started the season we need all the victories we can get."\nAfter the first half, the Hoosiers had outshot the Jaguars 17-1 and had committed only six fouls compared to IUPUI's 15. IU's best scoring chance came off a penalty kick with just over 16 minutes left when Grabavoy's' penalty kick attempt was deflected wide left by IUPUI freshman Peter Brasovan making his first career start. \n"It was not a very good penalty shot because he actually did not react until after I shot it," Grabavoy said. "That just means it was not a good shot. Next time I'll get up there and bury it."\nJunior Jay Nolly was credited for one save off two Jaguar shots. He entered the match with a 0.76 goals against average and now has recorded three consecutive shutouts. \nThe Hoosiers will continue their conference slate against second place Ohio State Sunday in Bloomington. \n"I told the guys individual and team defense will have to be the common thread because there will be sometimes you'll just be denied," Yeagley said. "But as long as we are consistent on defense and keep getting these chances I think we will come up with some goals. Team defensively, we earned an A, but efficiency in front of the goal was below standard."\n-- Contact staff writer Daniel Cohen at djcohen@indiana.edu.
