WESTFIELD, Ind. (Thursday, June 15, 2023) – Indy Eleven lost for the first time this season, dropping a 2-0 decision to St. Charles at home on Thursday night.
Through a scoreless first half, the Eleven outshot St. Charles 7-2, including a game-high three from Katie Soderstrom, but could not find the back of the net.
St. Charles first struck in the 54th-minute as Olivia Baca picked up a loose ball rebound inside the six-yard box and tapped it in for the go-ahead tally. The lead was doubled by Amanda Adams, who scored for the visiting team in the 72nd minute.
The Eleven outshot STC 25-6 in the match, led by five from Maisie Whitsett and four apiece from Soderstrom and Hal Hershfelt. Emily Edwards registered a pair of saves.
