It was tense. It was stressful. It was very nearly the end of Indiana’s season.
And yet, with IU feeling the pressure of a dogged Pittsburgh attack, it was Herbert Endeley who helped flip the field and provide comfort when the Hoosiers needed it most. Endeley’s brilliant strike with 11 minutes remaining in regulation propelled third-seeded Indiana to a 1-0 victory over second-seeded Pitt, keeping IU’s Quest For 9 alive on Friday in Cary. N.C.
Indiana will face Marshall on Monday at 8 p.m. ET in the national championship match.
On a night when the Hoosiers withstood a constant Panthers offensive effort, Endeley broke through with an exciting individual sequence through the box in the 79th minute.
