It’s starting to feel like an IU men’s soccer run in late November.
In a scoreless next goal wins scenario, Austin Panchot found the back of the net to send Hoosier Army to the semifinals of the $1 million winner-takes-all The Soccer Tournament (TST).

The 1-0 Hoosier Army win came against Concafa SC, a team that included former Indianapolis Colts punter and current sports personality Pat McAfee.
Hoosier Army is now 6-0 at the event including group play. They will next face La Bombonera with a spot in the championship match on the line. That semifinal will take place Sunday evening at 6 p.m. ET in Cary, N.C. The match will air on ESPN Plus.
The TST consists of 7-on-7 soccer matches on a much shorter field and with smaller goals. The TST follows the popular Elam Ending, similar to its basketball counterpart. Following the end of the second half, a target score is set by adding one goal to the leading team’s goal total at that time. The team to reach the target score is credited with the win.
Hoosier Army is coached by Kevin Robson, who is a current associate head coach for Indiana men’s soccer. Head coach Todd Yeagley has the general manager title on the TST website. Todd’s wife Suzy is also an assistant coach.
Hoosier Army boasts multiple former national title winners, as well as some highly-notable alumni that spent time in the professional ranks on their roster. Multiple players on the roster are also former All-Americans, and have won trophies at the professional level as well.
