WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue soccer and in-state rival Indiana battled to a hard-fought scoreless draw Friday night at Folk Field.
The scoreless draw marked back-to-back years without a goal from either side, the first time in Golden Boot history for a scoreless tie in consecutive years. The Boilermakers moved to 5–6–3 (2–3–1 B1G) with the result, earning a point in Big Ten play.
After a quiet first half with just two Purdue shots, the Boilermakers came alive after halftime, outshooting the Hoosiers 11–7 in the final 45 minutes. Megan Santa Cruz, Irene Campo, Angelina Thoreson, and Chiara Singarella each pushed forward with quality looks, forcing five saves for the Indiana keeper.
Defensively, the Boilermakers stood tall. Goalkeeper Emily Edwards recorded three saves, backed by strong play from defenders Zoe Cuneio, Margaux Chauvet, and Lauren Adam. Purdue’s back line blocked multiple second-half efforts, keeping the game scoreless.
The Boilers and the Hoosiers continued to hold strong, marking another scoreless draw, after the same result a year ago.
