Coach Jerry Yeagley wins his sixth NCAA title in his last game

The IU men's soccer team couldn't have created a better ending for legendary coach Jerry Yeagley. The team scored two first half goals and hung on amid a snowstorm to win 2-1 and give Yeagley his sixth NCAA Championship in 31 years.\nJunior forward Neb Grabavoy returned from the U20 National team to score the first goal of the game just 15 minutes into the contest. Freshman forward Jacob Peterson scored the game winner five minutes later on a run he started from the midfield.\nSt. John's fought back and scored with about 12 minutes remaining. Snow continued to cover the field, but IU held off the St. John's attack. The Red Storm had numerous shots, but junior goalkeeper and the IU defense held them out.\nIU ends the season on an 18-game unbeaten. Yeagley announced at the beginning of the season that he would retire. Yeagley ends his career with 541 wins, the winningest coach in Division 1 history.
