LAST TIMES THESE TEAMS MET...
• The Indiana men's soccer team claimed its sixth national title by beating St. John's, 2-1, in front of a crowd of 5,300 at Crew Stadium in Columbus on a snowy day, Dec. 14, 2003.
• With the title, Indiana now ranks second all-time for NCAA Championships in Division I college soccer. Head Coach Jerry Yeagley also became the first coach to win six national championships at one school, a mark that ties the record with Bob Guelker, who won five championships at Saint Louis (1959,1960, 1962, 1963 and 1965) and one title at SIU-Edwardsville (1979).
• Indiana, the NCAA Tournament's No. 8 seed, finished the 2003 season with a 17-3-5 record. Sixth-seeded St. John's closed its campaign at 17-6-3.
• The Hoosiers capitalized on their first shot attempt in the 15th minute to take a 1-0 lead. Red Storm defender Mike Leidner fouled Hoosier freshman Jacob Peterson roughly eight yards outside the 18-yard box. Junior All-American Ned Grabavoy took the ensuing free kick and knocked it into the lower left corner of the net. Grabavoy, who had returned from playing with the United States U-20 team in the United Arab Emirates at midnight on Saturday, scored his 11th goal of the season.
• Indiana scored again to take a 2-0 lead with 25:46 to play in the first half. Peterson flew down the field and took the ball on a breakaway. With a defender running along his side, the rookie quickly launched a right-footed shot from the top of the 18-yard box and drilled it to the lower left portion of the net. The goal was Peterson's seventh of the year and his third of the postseason.
• St. John's had numerous good looks at the goal in the opening half, but Indiana was able to close down the opportunities. Junior goalkeeper Jay Nolly collected six saves in the first half.
• Though there were light flurries throughout the contest, snow began to fall even harder in the final 20 minutes of the game.
• The Red Storm got on the board in the 78th minute when Ashley Kozicki got his right foot on the ball and took a close shot from the right wing into the upper right corner of the net. Chris Corcoran and Tim O'Neill were awarded assists.
• Nolly came up big for IU in the final six minutes of the game. He saved a shot at with just over five minutes remaining. Sebastian Alvarado-Ralph took a shot inside the box, forcing Nolly slightly out of the goal to stop the ball.
• Nolly, who was named the College Cup's Most Outstanding Defensive Player, finished the game with a season-high 10 saves.
• The game was head coach Jerry Yeagley's final game. Division I's all-time winningest coach finished his career with a 544-101-45 overall record.
• Following the celebration, the NCAA announced the All-Tournament team with seven Hoosiers making the list. Along with Nolly as the Defensive MOP, Jacob Peterson was named Most Outstanding Offensive Player.

• Chay Cain has played 543:39 minutes in goal, allowing just one score (0.17 GAA) with 11 saves and five shutouts.
THE CAPTAIN RETURNS
• After missing the last six games due to injury, Indiana welcomed team captain and first-team All-Big Ten honoree Brad Ring back to the field for NCAA Tournament action.
• Ring immediately made his presence known, winning balls in the midfield and directing traffic in a 2-0 win over No. 23 Saint Louis in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
• As teammate Kevin Alston said after the match: He (Ring) is a rock. He is solid in the middle and challenges for everything."
• His presence was felt even more in a 3-0 win over Michigan in the third round as Ring recorded his first goal of the season.
WHATEVER YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO BETTER
• Freshman Will Bruin and sophomore Andy Adlard seem to have a healthy competition running for leading goal scorer on the team.
• With the game-winning goal against Michigan in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, Adlard pushed ahead of Bruin in the goals race, 7-6.
• Adlard also had an assist in the game and leads the team with 19 points.
• Bruin initially led 2-0 in the goal count before Adlard scored goals against San Diego and UCSB to knot things up.
• Bruin went back up, 4-2, with two goals at Evansville on Sept. 30. Adlard put home scores against Notre Dame and Louisville to even things at 4-4, then took a 5-4 lead with his game-winning score at Ohio State.
• Two games later Bruin recorded his fifth goal, the game winner in a 2-0 victory over Northwestern.
• Adlard's game winner in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals against Ohio State gave him a 6-5 advantage, but the next day it was Bruin's turn to score the winner, giving IU a 1-0 win over Michigan in the semifinals with his sixth score.
FACING THE BEST
• It would be hard to argue against the statement that Indiana has played the toughest schedule in the country in 2008.
• A total of 12 of IU's 18 regular-season opponents were selected to the 2008 NCAA Tournament field.
• Out of those 12 teams, eight came from the Hoosiers' nonconference scheduling (Duke, Louisville, Dartmouth, South Florida, Akron, Notre Dame, UC Santa Barbara, UCLA).
• Indiana went 4-2-2 against those eight teams.
• Notre Dame played a total of 10 NCAA Tournament teams in 2008, with seven coming in nonconference play.
• No. 1 seed Wake Forest had nine NCAA teams on its schedule, but just four of those came in out-of-league action.
• No. 2 seed Maryland faced seven NCAA team, with just two non-ACC matchups (UCLA, California).
• No. 3 seed St. John's played six NCAA tournament teams, but just two in nonconference play (Virginia, Boston College).
• No. 4 seed Michigan State played seven NCAA teams, with three nonconference battles (UC Davis, UIC, Notre Dame).
RING NAMED MAC HERMANN TROPHY SEMIFINALIST
• For the second time in as many seasons, Indiana senior midfielder Brad Ring is one of 15 semifinalists for the Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy, the organization announced.
• The award, which is collegiate soccer's version of the Heisman Trophy, is awarded to the top Division I men's soccer player as voted on by Division I college head coaches who are current members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Three finalists for the award will be announced on Friday, Dec. 12. They will be invited to the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis for a news conference on Jan. 9, 2009, where the winner will be announced.
• Ring has started all 16 matches played and has had a huge impact in Indiana's two NCAA Tournament games after missing the previous six matches due to injury. Ring had a team-best six shots in a 3-0 win over Michigan in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, including his first goal of the season.
• As a defensive midfielder he has played a large role in six of Indiana's 10 shutouts this season, including five shutouts of opponents ranked in the top 25. Earlier this month Ring was named to the All-Big Ten first team for the second-consecutive season and was honored with preseason All-America accolades from Soccer America and College Soccer News.
• Ring is one of two Big Ten players on the list, joined by Michigan State's Doug DeMartin. In all the Hoosiers faced four of the 15 honorees during the 2008 season in DeMartin, Duke's Mike Grella, UC Santa Barbara's Chris Pontius and Akron's Steve Zakuani.
HOOSIERS ON THE ROAD
• The road has not been so unkind Indiana as it is 4-2 in true road contests this season.
• The Hoosiers' road victories came at No. 24 UCLA (3-0), Evansville (3-2 OT), Butler (2-0) and Ohio State (3-2 OT). The losses were at Michigan State (2-0) and Penn State (1-0).
• Indiana is 3-2-1 in games played at a neutral site with wins over San Diego (2-1), Ohio State (1-0) and Michigan (1-0).
BRING ON THE TOP 25
• Perhaps the Hoosiers should schedule nothing but top 25 teams as Indiana is 7-1-2 when playing a team that is ranked in the NSCAA/adidas top 25 at the time of the match.
• The Hoosiers tied then-No. 12 Akron, 0-0, tied then-No. 5 South Florida, 0-0, defeated then-No. 24 UCLA, 3-0; defeated then-No. 9 Notre Dame, 3-1, defeated then-No. 14 Louisville, 1-0, defeated then-No. 8 Northwestern, 2-0, defeated No. 10 Michigan, 1-0, toppled No. 23 Saint Louis, 2-0, and put up a 3-0 win over No. 14 Michigan in the NCAA Tournament third round.
• Their only loss came in the Big Ten Tournament championship game on Nov. 16, a 1-0 defeat to No. 16 Michigan State.
• Even more impressive: The Hoosiers have shut out eight of the 10 top-25 teams they has faced, with only Notre Dame and Michigan State putting one in the net.
• Indiana also has wins over Duke (2-1), Butler (2-0) and Ohio State (3-2; 1-0), all teams that were ranked at some point in the 2008 season.
WILMARTH OFF THE BENCH
• When the Hoosiers need a spark in the offense, the first person head coach Mike Freitag turns to off the bench is sophomore forward Neil Wilmarth.
• Wilmarth has appeared in all 23 games, with one start, and has two goals and three assists to his credit.
• While not gaudy numbers, the passion, fight and work ethic Wilmarth brings to the field is something that tends to spread throughout the team.
• The speedy sophomore can always been seen hustling after the ball or chasing down a defender to give his team the advantage.
BIG TEN HONORS
• The Indiana University men's soccer team was recognized for its efforts this season, highlighted by a pair of first-team All-Big Ten selections and Freshman of the Year honoree Will Bruin.
• Junior defender Kevin Alston was unanimously selected to the All-Big Ten first team, one of just three unanimous first-team picks. This season Alston has started all 23 matches at left back while contributing three goals and an assist. Last season he was a second-team honoree.
• Joining Alston on the first team is senior defensive midfielder Brad Ring. Despite missing six matches due to injury, Ring was named to the first team for the second consecutive season. In 16 starts this season, Ring has one goal and one assist while putting up 47 shots. He has also played a large role in seven of Indiana's shutouts this season, six of which came against ranked opponents.
• Sophomore midfielder Andy Adlard and junior midfielder Eric Alexander earned spots on the second team. Adlard has been an offensive leader for IU this season with seven goals and five assists for a team-best 19 points. His 61 shot attempts in 23 matches is also a team best. This is his first All-Big Ten honor.
• Alexander is now a three-time All-Big Ten honoree after being named to the All-Freshman squad in 2006 and the first team in 2007. This season he has started all 23 matches in the midfield, tallying two goals and four assists. Alexander's first goal of the season came in a 3-0 win at No. 24 UCLA, followed by the game-winning score in a 3-2 overtime victory over Wisconsin.
• Bruin, a forward, and defender Tommy Meyer were both unanimous selections to the All-Freshman team. Bruin is second on the team in goals scored with six, most recently putting home the game winner in a 1-0 win over No. 10 Michigan in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Bruin also had a pair of goals in a 3-2 win at Evansville and started his career with a goal in a 3-0 win at No. 24 UCLA.
• Meyer has appeared in 17 matches with 15 starts in central defense for the Hoosiers and has played a role in eight shutouts this season, including blankings of both Ohio State and No. 10 Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament and both NCAA Tournament shutout victories.
• Bruin becomes the 10th Hoosier to earn Freshman of the Year honors. It is the third time in the last four years that an Indiana player has taken home the award, with Lee Nguyen honored in 2005 and Darren Yeagle in 2006. Indiana assistant coach Todd Yeagley won the inaugural Freshman of the Year award in 1991.
• Sophomore Rich Balchan is Indiana's Sportsmanship Award winner. Balchan has started all 23 matches for Indiana, playing roles in both the central defense and defensive midfield. He assisted on Bruin's game-winning goal at Evansville, as well as Adlard's goal against UC Santa Barbara.
