Twenty-five shots, one over-
time, one golden goal, and
one magnified loss - that was
the action-packed story of the
Michigan men's soccer game on
Wednesday.
Indihna INDIANA 2
(3-4 Big MICHIGAN 1
Ten, 7-11-1
overall) likely ended the Wolver-
ines' season in a hard-fought 2-1
victory, advancing to the second
round of the Big Ten tourna-
ment. The victory came nearly a
month after Michigan beat Indi-
ana, 2-1, at U-M Soccer Stadium.
Michigan started the game
well, as senior defender Ezekiel
Harris netted a goal in the 10th
minute, but after that, Indiana
outshot the Wolverines consider-
ably. Redshirt junior goalkeeper
Adam Grinwis played stoutly
in net, nonetheless, keeping his
team in the game early on while
turning away all four shots on
net in the first half.
"Adam came up with a couple
good saves to keep us ahead,"
said Michigan coach Chaka
Daley. "But saves that we expect
him to make so they weren't out
of the ordinary."
The Wolverines (3-4, 8-7-3)
banded together soon after, dis-
playing a sound focus on not
letting the Hoosiers back into

Senior defender Ezekiel Harris put the Wolverines on the board in the 10th minute, but Indiana scored two unanswered.
