There will be no $1 million winner-takes-all championship match for the Hoosier Army.
La Bombonera defeated the team of former IU men’s soccer players 3-1 on Sunday evening to advance to the final at The Soccer Tournament in Cary, N.C.
Hoosier Army was down 2-0 when the target score was set to three. Tanner Thompson scored for Hoosier Army to make it 2-1 before La Bombonera scored the clincher. It was Hoosier Army’s first loss at the event after six straight wins including group play.
The first ever alumni team to play in TST, Hoosier Army, showed significant progress in 2024 after failing to advance past group play a year ago.
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 was 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 was also an assistant coach.
Hoosier Army had 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 were also former All-Americans, and have won trophies at the professional level as well.
