Here is the July Update on Indy Eleven and Indiana Soccer.

Indy Eleven Men’s June Results:

USL-C: June 4th at Birmingham Legion FC: 1-0 Win
Beyond The 90'
Indy Eleven Men Grab Vital 1-0 win at Birmingham
The Indy Eleven Men were able to travel down to Birmingham Legion and get a massive 3 points in their 1-0 win. The Eleven have only won one match all season in league play (1-5-3) up to this match. Pressure was mounting on McAuley’s side to break this poor start. This moment may end up being a turning point for the club - who are now out of the US Open …

USL-C: June 14th vs Pittsburgh Riverhounds: 1-0 Win
Beyond The 90'
Indy Eleven Men grab dominate win 1-0 vs Pittsburgh
The Indy Eleven won once again this weekend, this time by a familiar score ling: 1-0. For the 4th time all year, the eleven have won 1-0. The Eleven are made (doesn’t mean it always go this way) to grind out 1-0 wins and Saturday’s performance vs the Pittsburgh Riverhounds followed that blueprint…

USL-C: June 21st vs Las Vegas Lights: 1-0 Loss
Beyond The 90'
Indy Eleven Men lose late in 1-0 loss vs Las Vegas
It was extremely hot yesterday in Indianapolis - the city had a heat index of over 100 when the match kicked off. It was as if Las Vegas brought their dessert heat with them. But the 9,000+ fans cheered throughout, and the players gave it their all for the entirety of the 90 minutes. In a match like this, it only took one mistake or mental lapse and it …

USL-C: June 25th at Tampa Bay Rowdies: 3-1 Loss

Beyond The 90'

The Rowdies score 3 in the 2nd half to beat Indy Eleven Men 3-1 in Tampa Bay.

Wednesday night’s match reminded folks in Indy that is was in fact wet season in Florida. With a match that was scheduled to start at 7pm EST, it got delayed from storms in the area and ended up starting at 9pm, where it concluded around 11pm EST…

USL-Cup: June 28th vs Birmingham Legion: 1-1 PK Win
Beyond The 90'
USL Cup: Indy Eleven defeat Birmingham in PKs after 1-1 Draw
Saturday Night in Indy was a mixed bag for the Eleven. The team was able to get 2 points to stay up top of the USL Cup Group 3 and put themselves into a great spot to win the group next match. For Sean McAuley, it was another match in where he defense had given up a late equalizer. Instead of clinching Indy’s spot in the quarterfinals, Indy drew Birming…

June Record: 2-1-2

US Open Cup: Round of 32 (eliminated)

USL Jager Cup: 2-1-0, 8 points

USL Championship Record (W-D-L): 3-5-5, 14 points

June saw an Indy side pick up some important wins vs Birmingham and Pittsburgh, while also losing at a struggling Tampa side.

While the team was able to win their 2nd and 3rd matches of the league, they also lost twice. Indy desperately is needing some consistency in league play if they want to avoid a playoff battle. 6th place is only 3 points away, and 5th is only 6. July won’t be easy as Indy play Rhode Island and travel to a good North Carolina FC.

Indy Eleven Men’s July Matches:

USL-C: July 5th vs Monterey Bay FC (Hometown Heroes Night)
USL-C: July 12th vs Rhode Island FC (Star Wars Night)
USL-C: July 18th at North Carolina FC
Jager Cup: July 26th vs FC Tulsa (Christmas in July)

USL W Record (W-D-L): 5-0-5, 15 points

USL-W League Valley Standings:

The Indy Eleven women’s team was unable to replicate the success of their previous 3 seasons. This time finishing in 3rd place behind Racing Louisville and Kings Hammer of Cincinnati. As a result, the Eleven have not qualified for the playoffs for the first time in USL-W history.

Shout-out to all the players, staff and fans who supported this team. Time to rest up after a chaotic June and season, and look towards improving in 2026.

USL-League Two Valley Standings:

Fort Wayne looks to maintain their top spot and secure themselves a playoff position again this year. As long as Fort Wayne can win against the bottom two teams in the Division, they’ll have qualified for the playoffs.

Northern Indiana FC (Great Lakes Division)

USL-L2: June 6th vs Kalamazoo FC: 4-1 Win

USL-L2: June 25th at Kalamazoo: 2-1 Loss
USL-L2: June 28th vs Midwest United FC: 2-0 Loss

June Results: 2-1-2

USL L2 Record (W-D-L): 4-1-4, 13 points

USL-League Two Great Lakes Standings:

Northern Indiana doesn’t quite have a path towards the playoffs in their inaugural L2 campaign, but they most certainly were able to hold their own. The Great Lakes Division is one of the tightest and most competitive across L2. Being able to hold their own is an accomplishment in of itself. Northern Indiana will look to close out the season against a poor Lansing City team, then a tough matchup against Flint, with the season finale vs Macomb.
