Men’s Soccer Stays Undefeated With Shutout of USI
9/23/2025 3:33:00 PM | Men's Soccer
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Purdue Fort Wayne surrendered only two shots on goal in a 3-0 shutout of Southern Indiana on Tuesday (Sept. 23) in non-league men's soccer action.
The Mastodons improve to 5-0-3. The 'Dons will put their undefeated record on the line on Saturday (Sept. 27) when defending league champion Robert Morris comes to the Hefner Soccer Complex for a 4 p.m. kick.
Tuesday saw the 'Dons score twice in the first half and once later in contest.
Shane Anderson scored his sixth goal of the season off passes from Iann Topete and Christian Leon in the 21st minute. Anderson was about 10 yards out in front of the goal when he connected on his shot.
The 40th minute saw the Mastodons go up 2-0. Marcos Soria found Ben Hissrich for Hissrich's first goal as a Mastodon. Soria's pass from the right side found Hissrich in space in the middle of the field.
Topete added a late goal for the 'Dons, scoring in the 86th minute to match Anderson's goal total at six for the season. Anderson assisted on the tally after his initial shot was saved and Topete put the rebound in the back of the net.
Anderson is now at a league-best 18 points on the season. Topete has 14.
Sep Habibi made two saves for his third shutout of the year. The Mastodons out-shot the Screaming Eagles 19-4.
The 'Dons welcomed second graders from Holy Cross School out to the pitch on Tuesday. Student-athletes from every Mastodon program as well as cheerleading are pen pals with Holy Cross students. The students got to meet their pen pal, walkout with the players for introductions and try to score a goal on the mascot Don at halftime. They also had the pleasure of watching the undefeated Mastodons.
USI falls to 1-6 with the loss.
