He played in 22 matches in his lone season for the Hoosiers, scoring three goals.[3] After his first season Mares decided to join the selection pool for the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.[3] However, Mares was not selected in any of the four rounds.[4] Mares then joined the pre-season camp of MLS side Real Salt Lake but did not earn a contract with the side.[5]
