Indiana Men’s Soccer Blanks Pittsburgh, 2-0, in College Cup Semifinal

Cary, N.C. –––––– In its 22nd College Cup appearance, the Indiana Men’s Soccer team will play for a national championship.

The  No. 13-seeded Hoosiers (14-4-6, 3-1-4 B1G) defeated Pittsburgh (12-5-5,  3-2-3 ACC), 2-0, on Friday night at WakeMed Soccer Park.

Redshirt senior forward Ryan Wittenbrink scored unassisted in the 14th minute off the rebound from his missed penalty kick to give Indiana an early 1-0 lead.

Sophomore forward Tommy Mihalic found the back of the net in the 45th minute, lacing the ball around a defender and through the keeper on an off-balanced shot from the right side of the goal. The goal was assisted by senior forward Herbert  Endeley and put the Hoosiers up 2-0 at the half.

The  Hoosiers will face No. 3 Syracuse (18-2-4, 5-1-2 ACC) in the College  Cup Final on Monday (Dec. 12) at 6:00 p.m. at WakeMed Soccer  Park. The game will air on ESPNU.
