Indiana and Stanford, the top two defensive teams in college soccer, showed why they’ve been so hard to break down all season on Friday night at Talen Energy Stadium as both shut down their opponents to advance to Sunday’s national title match.
For Indiana, a 1-0 win over North Carolina marked their 18th shutout of the season for a team that is now aiming to join rare company on the list of unbeaten champions.
Indiana left back Andrew Gutman, a Chicago Fire Academy grad, got on the end of a Trevor Swartz corner kick in the 50th minute for the game’s only goal.
