WESTFIELD, Ind. (Monday, May 20, 2024) – Indy Eleven came away with a 3-3 draw against Kings Hammer FC in their 2024 home opener at the Grand Park Events Center Monday evening. The Girls in Blue move to 1-0-1 on the season, while Kings Hammer is 0-0-1.
Natalie Mitchell got the scoring started for the Girls in Blue with a play that developed down the right side from Ella Rogers. Rogers found an overlapping Lizzie Sexton, who sent the ball into the center of the 18. Mitchell collected the cross off a Kings Hammer defender and sent home the 23rd-minute tally for her first of the season.
Indy doubled the lead just two minutes into the second half when Addie Chester found herself on the end of an Amelia White cross inside the six.
Kings Hammer stormed back to tie the match with back-to-back goals off an own goal and one from Ellie Mink in the 60th and 64th minutes, respectively.
An 83rd-minute goal from Norah Jacomen, her second of the season, off White’s second assist of the evening put Indy up late, but the visitors were able to snag one back late off a 91st-minute free kick from Lily Yordy.
Indy Eleven outshot Kings Hammer 16-9 in the match with Chester coming away with a team-leading four. Ashton Blair registered four saves in goal.
