Men's soccer falls 2-1 to Brown

Patterns are forming with the No. 24 IU men’s soccer team, as the alternating wins and losses through the first five games of the year now place the Hoosiers at 2-3 after falling to Brown 2-1 Friday night in Providence, R.I.

Forward Andy Adlard put away the lone Hoosier goal, which gave IU a 1-0 lead at the half, but two Brown goals— the go-ahead with eight minutes to play— were the deciding factor.

Brown is now 3-0-2 on the year.

Forward Will Bruin, who was recently named the No. 2 upper classman in the nation by TopDrawerSoccer.com, was held to a single shot attempt on the night. The Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week leads the team with four goals on the year.

IU faces UMass Sunday at 1 p.m. to finish off its East Coast weekend. The Hoosiers are 2-0 in Sunday games so far this year.
