IU prepares to play U-17 Mexican National Team

IU is set to wrap up its spring season Tuesday when it hosts the U-17 Mexican National Team at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

This is the ninth meeting between IU and Mexico, with Mexico leading the series 6-2-1.

Last year, in Indianapolis, Mexico defeated the Hoosiers 3-0.

This will be the final match of IU’s spring 2015 season.

So far IU is 3-1, having most recently beaten Butler 3-1 on Saturday in Westfield, Ind.

IU has also registered wins over Indy Eleven 2-1 and beat Notre Dame 2-1 in overtime.

So far this spring, rising junior Tanner Thompson has scored three goals, all game-winners, in addition to two assists.

Thompson was a NSCAA All-American last season.

Tickets for the match are $10 for adults and $5 for IU students and youth. The match is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.
