IUN snapped a seven-game skid last week with a 3-1 victory over St. Francis as
Isaac Macias scored a pair of goals along with
Dom Bixeman's tally. The RedHawks look to get back into the win column Wednesday when Calumet St. Joseph's travels to Crown Point for a 6 p.m. kickoff.
Bixeman leads the IUN offensive attack with six goals, while
Francisco Torres and Macias have combined to score seven times.
Jared Hecimovich, meanwhile, has made 58 stops in almost 1,000 minutes of work.
Women's Soccer
Just a half game currently keeps the RedHawks out of the postseason tournament as they sit 2-6-0 in the league, while Holy Cross is 2-5-1. IUN does have the tiebreaker over the Saints after a 2-1 victory back in September.
Kelly Landry picked up a pair of assists in Saturday's game at Viterbo and she now leads the team with three. Defensively
, Isabel Escalera has made 84 saves and has allowed just 1.39 goals per game.
Volleyball
Since falling to Olivet Nazarene in five sets, IUN has won 5-of-8 and sits in seventh place in the current CCAC standings. Over the last eight matches,
Briah Strezo has racked up 101 kills, while
Erica Packwood and
Chloe Roberts have totaled 260 assists.
This week, the RedHawks can put some room between themselves and the schools following as they travel CCSJ and host IU South Bend Thursday.
