Since the Hoosiers left South Bend, they have been the team many
envisioned at the beginning of the season. The slow start has since
become a distant memory after their solid performance in the first seven
games.
The IU men’s soccer team heads to the East Coast for its first true road test looking to continue hot offensive play.
Several players on the men’s soccer team haven’t had to make the transition to IU’s campus and soccer program alone. Eleven of the 28 players on this year’s roster played at least part of their high school careers with someone else on the team.
After coming to a scoreless tie with Notre Dame, the No. 10 Hoosiers have won four games in a row and have scored 14 goals in that span. Half of those goals came from senior Alec Purdie and freshman Eriq Zavaleta.
After roughly half the men’s soccer team’s scoring was lost to the MLS when former Hoosier Will Bruin was drafted by the Houston Dynamo, one concern was, simply, who would score?
Senior forward Alec Purdie scored three goals for the weekend, powering his team to wins against Bucknell and Denver for the tournament title.

Surely the Hoosier soccer team will score goals, lots of them. But the void of 2010 Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year Will Bruin and the lack of offense thus far this season has left lingering questions about whether or not the 2011 Hoosiers will repeat as Big Ten Champions under second-year coach Todd Yeagley.
IU men’s soccer’s hopes of defending their Big Ten championship took a sizable hit Dec. 29, 2010, when their leading scorer, junior Will Bruin, decided to forego his senior season and pursue a career in Major League Soccer.

The No. 17 IU men’s soccer team will open their season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in South Bend with renewed expectations. They’ll take on No. 12 Notre Dame in the team’s first season opener on the road since 2006.
Assistant coaches under famed former Indiana Coach Jerry Yeagley helped the Indiana men’s soccer program hoist the national championship trophy in both 2003 and 2004.

After two exhibition games with moments of poor communication, near misses and tough goals, the IU men’s soccer team left the Shindigz National Soccer Festival in Fort Wayne, Ind., with only one goal and zero wins for their preseason slate.

Rich Balchan no longer defended the backfield. Andy Adlard no longer
flipped after the goals.
Three IU men’s soccer players from last season were gone, now playing on
their respective Major League Soccer teams. However, that didn’t stop
the post-Bruin squad from scoring five goals in a lopsided 5-2 win

Yeagley Field.
