The team returned from its game towards northern Kentucky as a mechanical problem caused the bus to take fire.
The entire team and staff evacuated the bus safely, according to a post from IU Indy Athletics on X. The post also mentioned another bus at that time to pick them up for the trip back to Indianapolis.
