The University of Southern Indiana women’s soccer team will be on one of their toughest road trips of the year when it travels to the University of Indianapolis and Saint Joseph’s College this weekend. USI enters the week with a 4-3-0 overall record and a 1-1-0 GLVC mark.
The Eagles and the Greyhounds have split the eight games in the series with Indianapolis winning 3-2 last fall. SJC leads its series with USI, 6-4-0, despite USI winning 3-0 last season.

For the season, senior forward Aisha Earle-Smith (Spring, Texas) leads the team with 10 points on four goals and two assists. Sophomore forward Alisann Shetler (Evansville, Indiana) is a close second with nine points on four goals and one assist.
Indianapolis, who blocked a USI berth in the GLVC Tournament last season, has started the year 3-4-1 overall and 0-1-1 in the league. The Greyhounds opened GLVC action with a 1-1 tie at Bellarmine, but lost 1-0 to Northern Kentucky University.
