Unbeaten Indy Eleven travel to face 2014 champs

The Indy Eleven will look to stretch its unbeaten streak to eight games when they head to San Antonio to face last year's North American Soccer League champions.

The Scorpions dropped their season opener to Tampa Bay, 3-1, while the Eleven have opened the season with consecutive 1-1 draws, including last Saturday's home opener against the New York Cosmos.

New acquisition Brian Brown notched his first goal for the Eleven with a 30-yard lofted effort over New York goalie Jimmy Maurer and earned a place on this week's NASL Team of the Week.

Eleven defender Greg Janicki, the team's new captain and starting center back, joined Indy after spending three seasons with the Scorpions.

Janicki and the Eleven's defense will be tested by a strike force with names familiar to fans of Major League Soccer. Forwards Eric Hassli and Omar Cummings have 59 combined MLS goals between them, and Cummings came off the bench to score San Antonio's lone goal in the Scorpions' April 4 opener.

Indy midfielder Kleberson has missed the team's first two games with a hamstring injury, and after Saturday's draw versus New York, coach Juergen Sommer called it a "week-to-week" issue. The 2002 World Cup winner is listed as questionable, while midfielder Victor Pineda will miss his second straight game with an ankle injury.

Starters Sergio Pena and Jaime Frias, who were forced out of the game versus New York with injuries, are expected to play in San Antonio.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. and the game will be streamed live on ESPN3.

The Eleven are hosting an official watch party at Chatham Tap in Fishers, 8211 E. 116th St. Fishers, IN 46038.
