Indy Eleven News Release
Indianapolis - Indy Eleven used two second-half goals to rally from a halftime deficit to extend their USL Championship home unbeaten streak to seven (6-0-1) dating back to last season with a 2-1 win over Sporting JAX at Carroll Stadium.
Defender Anthony Herbert recorded his first Boys in Blue goal in the 65th minute for the game-winner. Defender Logan Neidlinger set it up with a laser from 30 yards out that struck the crossbar near the right post. The ball caromed high into the air, with Herbert positioning his 6'4 frame just outside the six. He headed it down and it bounced into the right corner of the net.
Indy Eleven trailed 1-0 in the 51st minute when captain Aodhan Quinn took a corner from the left side. Forward Bruno Rendon headed it between goalkeeper Christian Olivares' arms for his team-high fourth goal in eight USL-C games this season and his fifth in all competitions. Quinn recorded his 62nd career assist, good for second on the league all-time list.
The Boys in Blue have earned five points from losing positions this season, the third-best in the league.
