Tournament ends in 1-0 win, 1-1 tie for IU

The Hoosiers continued their spring winning trend by tallying another victory and another tie in this weekend’s Bucks College Cup Tournament. The Hoosiers tied Oakland 1-1 before outlasting Big Ten rival Michigan in a 1-0 contest later in the day.\nIU coach Mike Freitag divided his team into two, with the veterans on the team facing the Wolverines with most of the bench playing suiting up against Oakland.\nFreshman Alec Purdie continued his scoring streak by tallying the lone Hoosier goal in the Oakland game, his third of the exhibition season. Oakland later tied the game at one.\n“I felt like we were the better team,” Freitag said. “But we unfortunately let one slip through.” \nFreshman midfielder Tyler McCarroll was one of the Hoosiers who got an opportunity to play thanks to Freitag splitting up the team. McCarroll played in both games on Saturday. \n“It was a really good experience to get out there,” McCarroll said. “Both teams played well. As a whole, we had a good weekend.” \nFreshman forward Michael Roach saw significant action during the regular season, but said that the spring season plays a large role in the team’s development. \n“I think spring has been a great time for all the guys to jell,” Roach said. “We’re all on the same page.” \nThe Hoosiers have three games remaining in the spring season, with Notre Dame up next on April 12.
