CHICAGO, Illinois — UIndy claimed a 1-0 victory at Lewis on Sunday, extending its winning streak to two matches. The visiting Greyhounds broke through in the 69th minute to secure the road win before a regional Division II matchup that saw both teams create limited scoring opportunities.
Lucas Bedleg scored the decisive goal in the 69th minute, assisted by Alex Ziermann, giving UIndy the lead it would not relinquish. The goal came after a scoreless first half in which neither team generated significant chances.
UIndy controlled possession through disciplined play, recording two shots on goal from four total attempts. Lewis responded with two shots on goal from nine attempts, demonstrating the home team's difficulty converting opportunities. The Greyhounds' defense limited Lewis to the perimeter, with goalkeeper Roman Beko recording two saves to preserve the shutout.
Discipline proved costly for Lewis, which committed four yellow cards compared to UIndy's one. The home team earned seven corner kicks to UIndy's five but failed to capitalize on set-piece opportunities.
The result improves UIndy to 10-4-3 overall, maintaining the team's strong regional tournament positioning. Lewis falls to 5-6-7 following the loss, which snapped a one-game winning streak after defeating Illinois Springfield on Friday.
UIndy's defense, anchored by Ziermann's contributions on both ends of the field, proved decisive in the low-scoring affair. The Greyhounds' ability to score from limited chances reflects their regional powerhouse status within Division II competition.
