Corner Hits
Last Time: Miami (OH)
The Hoosiers only played in one game last week as they hit the road for a Sunday game against Miami of Ohio. The Redhawks defeated IU, 5-0. Ciara Girouard and Kelsey Giese led the way for Indiana in the shots category with Sachi Ananias and Shelby Querry combining for two saves.

The Hoosiers Share
Last year, Maddie Latino ran away with the scoring title with 10 goals in 19 games.

Already this season, the goals have been spread out as eight Hoosiers have tallied a goal and Giese, Woods, Buwalda top the charts with two goals a piece.

Close Calls
In the past few years, the Hoosiers have played the Buckeyes and Wolverines tight, winning two or losing by two or less goals in nine of the last 10 games against the two schools.

In last year's regular season loss to OSU, Bente Buwalda gave IU its lone goal.
