01 Postseason Context

The Crimson Pride made history in the opening round of the 2026 River States Conference Tournament.

Historic first: On November 4, 2026, sixth-seeded IU Columbus traveled to Owensboro and defeated third-seeded Brescia 3-2 — the program’s first postseason victory. Goals from Trent Schenk, Michael Mmadi (assisted by Schenk), and Matheus Ornellas Gubert (assisted by Marckenson Paul). Jordin Jones made 10 saves to seal the win.

Why it Matters

A young program that entered the season looking for its first winning campaign and first conference tournament berth delivered both the berth and the program’s first tournament win. The reward is a road semifinal against one of the conference’s strongest sides.

Head-to-Head & Recent Results

  • Regular-season meeting with WVU Tech: 0-1 loss on the road (Oct. 3). Tech scored late.
  • Brescia reverse: lost 1-2 in regular season, then won 3-2 in the tournament opener.
  • Strong home performances at NexusPark / Circle K Fieldhouse have been a foundation all year.
  • Ability to grind out tight games and get big saves has defined the late-season run.
What the numbers say for a Tech rematch: Expect a physical, low-event contest. Tech is organized and dangerous on set pieces and late transitions. IU Columbus will need the same clinical finishing that appeared against Brescia and another high-volume save performance from Jones to keep the historic run alive.
