Indianapolis – Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake tied the franchise record with his 27th career goal in the Boys in Blue’s 1-1 draw vs. defending USL champion Pittsburgh Riverhounds at Carroll Stadium.
In his 200th career USL Championship regular-season match, Blake put Indy Eleven on top by converting his franchise-best 11th consecutive penalty kick for the Boys in Blue in the 20th minute. Blake tied Eamon Zayed for the top spot all-time in club history. It is Blake’s 43rd career goal in USL-C regular-season play and it was his second goal in two matches this week. In his first appearance of 2026, he scored Tuesday vs. Union Omaha in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Indy Eleven goalkeeper Eric Dick made a season-high seven saves in the match against the team that he helped lead to the 2025 title, winning the USL Championship MVP and Prinx Playoff MVP after allowing no goals in 450 minutes in four playoff games.
The Boys in Blue continue their three-match homestand next Saturday at 7 p.m. at Carroll Stadium vs. Monterey Bay FC in the annual “Kick for a Cause” game. Susan G.

Quotes
Coach Sean McAuley
On Jack Blake’s 27th Indy Eleven goal (tying the franchise record by Eamon Zayed), 100+ Club Appearances, & 200 USL Championship regular-season appearances
“He’s a great man with a great personality. He does everything right on and off the field. Really pleased that he got his goal, and it won’t be long before he breaks that record. For somebody to break a goal scoring record when playing your whole career in midfield at the club is phenomenal. He is a great role model for anybody that wants to join the game.”
On his team’s defense
“I thought the shape was good because we really didn’t give them any looks on goal. When we turned it over, we transitioned well into attack, and we had a couple of chances.”
On the speed of Bruno Rendon & Loic Mesanvi
“Bruno has had a great start to the season. You can see what Loic brings us as a relatively unknown player that we got a hold of. I’ve known him for a few years, and he’s got, he’s got really good quality, and he can threaten the opponent with the pace. Once he gets past people, he picks the pass out. He played a great ball across first half with the outside of his right foot. He’s got good technique.”
Jack Blake
“I am proud to come to Indy Eleven and represent my family. I’ve been fortunate to play with some really talented players. It’s been enjoyable, so that makes it easier. The personal milestones are good, but I came here to win a trophy. The fans come here and want to see energy and hard work–I try to do that every game.”
Eric Dick
“Each game we’ve grown as a team. We’ve grown closer, the performance has gotten better, and we’re tough to play against. We had a great game defending. The guys did the hard work in front of me and busted their butts the whole game. The sky’s the limit for us, and it’s going to be a fun year and a good year. I’m here for Indy. I bleed Indy now, and I wanted to get a win for this club, for our home fans that stuck it out in the cold, rain, and wind.”
