  • In the early minutes of the second half, sophomore attacker Kaiya Money broke past the Midway defense and, after a wild sequence near the box, scored to give IU Kokomo a two-goal lead.
  • Veteran head coach Sohaila Akhavein's team created several more scoring opportunities in the final 30 minutes but couldn't find the back of the net again, securing a 2-0 victory over the Eagles and improving to 3-1-1 in River States Conference play.
