INDIANAPOLIS – Indy Eleven extended its unbeaten streak across all competitions to 12 after a 1-0 victory over San Antonio FC on Saturday night at Carroll Stadium. The Boys in Blue improve to 9-4-2 and move into a tie for second in the USL Championship’s Eastern Conference, while San Antonio falls to 4-6-5.
A first-half own goal (29’) by San Antonio off an Aedan Stanley corner proved to be all it would take to secure the three points on the night. The visitors did have their chance, as Indy was whistled for a handball inside its own 18 in the 15th minute, but Hunter Sulte kept the match scoreless, saving his first penalty kick faced of the season.
The Boys in Blue have now scored 16 first half goals this season, the highest total for a USL Championship team. Defensively, the Boys in Blue have held their opponents scoreless in the first half in nine of 15 matches in 2024.
Augi Williams led the Indy attack with three shots, while Stanley added a pair.
