NORTH MANCHESTER, IN - The Indiana University South Bend women's soccer team secured a hard-fought 1–0 victory against Manchester University on Saturday afternoon at Good Field. A relentless offensive attack and a stalwart defensive performance paved the way for the Titans' success.

IU South Bend's offense was dynamic throughout the match, putting constant pressure on the Manchester defense. The Titans racked up 14 total shots, 10 of which were on goal, forcing Manchester goalkeeper Reagan Claus into a busy afternoon with nine saves. The IU South Bend back line and goalkeeper Rylee Cotton were rarely challenged, with Cotton not needing to make a single save as the Titans held the Spartans to only three shots, none on goal.

The decisive moment came in the 67th minute when Olivia Enyeart found the back of the net, converting on a well-placed pass from Aryanna Allen. The goal was the culmination of sustained pressure that had kept the Spartans on their heels for most of the game.

Despite a physical contest that saw the Spartans commit 10 fouls and earn a yellow card, the Titans maintained their composure and controlled the tempo of the game. The victory marks the second win of the season for the Titans. Their next game will be Wednesday, September 10 against Albion College at Newton Park.
