The Indiana State women's soccer team will kickoff the 2019 fall campaign with the first of two friendly exhibitions during the preseason as they head to Indiana on Saturday, August 10 at 11 am (ET). The match will be held at Bill Armstrong Stadium. 

ISU's other exhibition friendly will be at home inside the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium on Thursday, August 15 when they host Marian (Ind.) at 7 pm. 

Under the direction of fourth-year head coach Julie Hanley, the Sycamores open the campaign behind the strength of 15 returning letterwinners and nine starters. Added into the mix this season will be 10 new freshmen, including Erin Sweda who missed all of the 2018 campaign with an injury suffered in the preseason.

Katie Sidloski returns for her senior year having scored four goals and posting four more assists for a total of 12 points during the year. Hannah Sullivan played and started in all 18 games for the Sycamores last year while recording five total shutouts.

While this match is a friendly, the Sycamores and Hoosiers have battled on the pitch four times previously, with the last meeting coming in 2014. ISU has never defeated the Hoosiers, with three of the four all-time meetings having come in Bloomington.
