IU's 1-0 loss ends NCAA run

IU-UNC Soccer

An up-and-down season came to a halt for the IU men’s soccer team Sunday when it fell 1-0 to No. 5 seed North Carolina in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. 

The Tar Heels’ lone goal came 27 minutes into the game when sophomore forward Alex Dixon slid a ball past freshman goalkeeper Luis Soffner to the opposite post. 

It was the only goal IU gave up during its three-game postseason run.

IU finished the year at 12-10-1, winning two games against ranked opponents to reach the Chapel Hill, N.C., meeting with the Tar Heels.

The loss marks the fifth straight season for the Hoosiers without reaching the College Cup, and this year’s senior class is the second in school history to never reach the NCAA Semifinal.
