While IU fought to upset No. 2-ranked UCLA on the pitch last Sunday, four alumni of the IU men’s soccer team were fighting a battle of their own in Major League Soccer. The Columbus Crew hosted the Colorado Rapids, where Danny O’Rourke, Jed Zayner, and Ned Grabavoy of the Crew played against Jacob Peterson of the Rapids. All four men played on the 2004 Hoosier squad that won the College Cup on penalty kicks against UC-Santa Barbara. Today, the former national champions find themselves on professional teams fighting to make the playoffs. The Crew and the Rapids went into Sunday’s game tied for the eighth and final MLS playoff spot, but the Rapids would win the tiebreaker over the Crew with a greater goal differential on the season.
