TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State found the back of the net in both halves and maintained control throughout to earn a 3–0 Missouri Valley Conference victory over Valparaiso on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.Â
The Sycamores set the tone early, firing five shots in the opening six minutes through Isabella Berta, Anna Chor, and Tori Angelo. Their attacking pressure paid off after 19:14 minutes, when Kaitlynn Long buried a rebound into the top left corner after a blocked effort from Alex Lehnert, giving ISU the 1–0 advantage. Indiana State dictated possession and tempo for much of the first half, holding Valpo to just three shots while goalkeeper Delaney Timmons made a single save to preserve the lead.Â
ISU doubled its advantage shortly after halftime. At 47:07 minutes, Quinn Urquhart's throw-in connected with Berta, who slipped a pass to Tori Angelo for a composed finish into the bottom left corner.Â
The Sycamores sealed the result at 80:08, when Lina Fasquelle converted her second goal of the season, slotting a left-footed strike into the bottom left corner off assists from Urquhart and Lehnert.Â
Defensively, Indiana State stayed compact and disciplined, limiting Valparaiso to just eight total shots. Timmons recorded four saves, including three in the second half, to notch her fifth shutout of the season.Â
