When the draw for the NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament came out it seemed as if the Hoosiers got the shaft a bit. Sure, they received the fifth national seed in the competition, but at the same time Kentucky was looming as their first opponent.
The same Kentucky team that sat as high as No. 5 in the Top Drawer Soccer rankings earlier this season and also visited Bill Armstrong Stadium in October, playing the Hoosiers to a tough 0-0 double-overtime draw.
It would have been reasonable to expect another low-scoring affair that would have the Hoosier faithful tearing their hair out, but the Hoosier attack came to life.
