July 26 Jägermeister Cup vs. FC Tulsa
Indy Eleven won USL Jägermeister Cup Group 3 with a 2-1 victory over FC Tulsa in the final round of group play at Carroll Stadium.
Coach Sean McAuley has guided his Indy Eleven teams to the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semi-finals and now to the 2025 USL Jägermeister Cup quarterfinals in their first-ever appearance. The Boys in Blue are 4-0-2 in Cup play this season (Open Cup & Jägermeister Cup).
In the Jäger Cup, Indy Eleven recorded a 3-0-1 mark in group play for a league-best 11 points, including a key shootout victory over eventual wildcard Birmingham Legion FC on June 28.
With his team leading 2-1, Boys in Blue goalkeeper Hunter Sulte made a key play in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, deflecting a cross from FC Tulsa’s Harvey St Clair out of the area with his right foot.
Sulte made a key stop in the 15th minute off a header from Kalil ElMedkhar inside the six with a reflex save with his left arm inside the right post.
Indy Eleven scored first in the 38th minute with midfielder James Murphy initiating the scoring sequence with a long diagonal ball to Bruno Rendon on the right side. Rendon showed his speed going deep inside the area, delivering a cross to forward Romario Williams. Williams stopped the ball with his right foot and finished with a toe ball off FC Tulsa keeper Johan Penaranda inside the left post.
Early in the second half, the Boys in Blue nearly extended their lead in the 48th minute with midfielder Jack Blake made a nifty move inside the area to create space for a left-footed toe ball chip that caromed off the crossbar.
In the 51st, the second Indy Eleven goal came when midfielder Cam Lindley played a ball outside to Rendon on the right side. Rendon took one touch and played it into the six where it was deflected by defender Lamar Batista for an own goal that gave the Boys in Blue a 2-0 lead.
Sulte made another key save in the 55th, punching away a blast from inside the area by Patrick Seagrist heading toward the left corner of the goal.

Schaeffer, Ofeimu, Quinn “Team of the Week”
Indy Eleven defenders Brian Schaefer and Ben Ofeimu and captain Aodhan Quinn have earned USL Championship “Team of the Week” honors after helping the Boys in Blue to a key 2-1 comeback victory vs. Birmingham Legion FC on Sunday.
It has been an impressive first three weeks for the 23-year-old Schaefer with Indy Eleven. The Atlantic Beach, Florida, native was loaned from FC Cincinnati 2 to the Boys in Blue on Sept. 3. He made his USLC debut that night at Hartford Athletic, helping his new team to a 2-0 road win with two aerial duels and a tackle.
The 2024 MLS SuperDraft first-round selection was inserted into the starting lineup on Sept. 6 at Charleston Battery and he has started the past three matches, helping the Boys in Blue hold opponents to 1.0 goals per game in four outings this month.
On Sunday vs. Birmingham, Schaefer started the game-tying goal sequence from midfield in the 54th minute with a long ball to the edge of the area off a free kick, where forward Romario Williams headed it down to Quinn. That duo then executed a give-and-go with Quinn giving it to Williams on the edge of the area and getting it back inside the six. Quinn then centered it to forward Edward Kizza who finished it into the bottom right corner.
For Quinn, it is his team-high eighth assist of the campaign and the 58th in the USLC regular season, good for a tie for second on the USLC all-time list with former Indy Eleven player Solomon Asante. Quinn, who is tied for third in the league in assists and 12th in crosses (101) this season, was playing his first match since the birth of his second child, Lochlann, on Sept. 12.
Six minutes later, Schaefer, Quinn, and Ofeimu combined for the game winner. After a Birmingham hand ball, Quinn took the ensuing free kick from just inside the right sideline and played it to the edge of the six, where Schaefer went high to flick it to Ofeimu, who volleyed it home. It is Ofeimu’s career-best third goal this season and it is the first Boys in Blue point for Schaefer.
Against Birmingham, Schaefer won all 10 of his duels and he recorded 10 clearances, a team-best seven recoveries, 3 of 4 tackles, and two interceptions.
The 24-year-old Ofeimu leads Indy Eleven and is tied for ninth in the USLC in blocks with 17 this season. The West Bloomfield Township, native is tied for second on the team and tied for ninth in the league in clearances with 124.
Against Birmingham, Quinn led the team in completed passes in the final third (11), crosses attempted (7), and tackles won (4). His eight assists in 2025 are the third-highest of his career, trailing only 14 for Orange County in 2018 and 11 for Phoenix Rising in 2021.
The Boys in Blue have had 10 different players earn USLC “Team of the Week” honors this season.
Comeback win over Birmingham Legion FC
Indy Eleven scored two second-half goals in a six-minute span to rally to a key 2-1 victory over USL Championship Eastern Conference opponent Birmingham Legion FC on Sunday in front of 10,375 at Carroll Stadium. The win moves the Boys in Blue to one point out of playoff position behind Rhode Island FC with five games remaining in the regular season.
Indy Eleven tied the match at 1-1 in the 54th minute off a well-executed free kick. Defender Brian Schaefer started the sequence from midfield with a long ball to the edge of the area, where forward Romario Williams headed it down to captain Aodhan Quinn. That duo then executed a give-and-go with Quinn giving it to Williams on the edge of the area and getting it back inside the six. Quinn then centered it to forward Edward Kizza who finished it into the bottom right corner.
It is Kizza’s third goal this season and the 20th of his USLC regular season career. For Quinn, it is his team-high eighth assist of the campaign and the 58th in the USLC regular season, good for a tie for second on the USLC all-time list with former Indy Eleven player Solomon Asante.
Quinn recorded a hockey assist on the game-winning goal in the 60th minute. After a Birmingham hand ball, Quinn took the ensuing free kick from just inside the right sideline and played it to the edge of the six, where Schaefer went high to flick it to defender Ben Ofeimu, who volleyed it home. It is Ofeimu’s career-best third this season and it is the first Indy Eleven point for Schaefer, who joined the Boys in Blue on September 3 on loan from FC Cincinnati 2.
The Indy Eleven defense limited Birmingham to just one shot on target, a free kick goal by Peter-Lee Vassell in the 12th minute.
