Indiana University, Butler and Evansville won men’s college soccer tournaments last weekend with major contributions from Carmel players.
But the state’s hottest player, also from Carmel, is Bradley’s Chris Cutshaw.

The senior forward ranks fifth in the nation with six goals in five games. He has led the Braves to a 4-0-1 record for their best start since 2002.
To recap last weekend:
Evansville edged Bradley on goal differential to win the Grand Prairie Classic at Peoria, Ill. The all-tournament team included Evansville’s Robby Lynch (Carmel) and Tyler Kincaid (Avon), Xavier’s Jake Vollmer (Westfield) and Cutshaw. Evansville also features All-Valley forward Mike Luttrull (Avon) and Akron transfer Aaron Henkle (Carmel).
Rich Balchan (Carmel) was the defensive MVP as Indiana won the Mike Berticelli Tournament at South Bend, beating New Mexico 3-2 and Seattle 2-0. The No. 8 Hoosiers (2-1-1) play Friday at top-ranked Akron (4-0).
Butler won the Gamecock Classic, beating host South Carolina 1-0 and Presbyterian 3-1. German forward Boris Gatzky was offensive MVP for Butler, and Matt Hedges (Carmel) was one of four Bulldogs on the all-tournament team. Butler (4-0) is one of 12 unbeaten, untied teams in the nation.
Balchan, Lynch, Hedges, Henkle, Butler’s Troy Blewitt, IU’s Tyler McCarroll and IU basketball player Daniel Moore were on the 23-0 Carmel team that won the 2006 state championship. Carmel’s goalkeeper was Zach Carr of Stevens Tech (N.J.), which is ranked 10th in NCAA Division III. Stevens Tech reached the 2008 national championship game, and Carr was seventh in the nation with a 0.46 goals-against average.
