INDY ELEVEN HOME OPENER

Indiana’s only professional soccer team, the Indy Eleven has kicked off their 2025 season in the USL Championship. After an inspiring 3-1 win at Miami FC in the season opener, the Eleven found themselves traveling to Kentucky. A tough and gritty matchup at Lexington SC was expected, and the pair came out of it with a nail biting 1-1 draw.

The two traveling experiences teed the Eleven up for a strong home opener against last year’s USL Champions, the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. The Eleven circled this match as one of their most important of the entire year, as a win against this caliber of opponent could set the tone and momentum for the rest of the 2025 season.

After an early goal for Eleven’s premiere attacker Maalique Foster, Colorado had an answer right before halftime. The Switchbacks switched it up by ambushing Indy with 2 back-to-back goals to open the second half of play, and the freekick answer from Indy captain Aodhan Quinn would prove too late for the club.
