The University of Minnesota women's soccer team lost its second consecutive match by a 1-0 score today, this time to Indiana in Bloomington, Ind. The Golden Gophers (5-3-0 overall, 0-2 Big Ten) fell to Purdue by a 1-0 score in Friday evening's Big Ten opener.
Indiana (4-2-1, 1-0-1 Big Ten) tallied the game-winner in the 35th minute as Kate Kastle chipped the ball over Minnesota goalkeeper Karli Kopietz from 10 yards out. Lisa Techlenburg was credited with the lone assist.
The Golden Gophers were out-shot in the match 10-8, including a 7-6 shots-on-goal advantage for IU. Minnesota and Indiana played the typical, foul-laden Big Ten match with the teams combining for 38 fouls, 23 of which going to the Hoosiers. IU also led in the corner kick department with a 4-3 edge.
