For Freitag and gang, 1 goal to go

One goal. It sounds rather cliche, but no phrase better summarizes the IU men's soccer team at this point in the season. The team has already reclaimed the Big Ten regular season championship and the conference tournament title, two feathers that never made it in their cap last year. They brought home the hardware, despite losing six of 11 starters from a year ago and being the lowest-scoring team in the 34-year history of the program. If that doesn't typify how dominant IU soccer has been over the years, I don't know what does.
