CORNER HITS
Last Time: Saint Louis Weekend
Indiana Field Hockey saw another split decision this past in Saint Louis, Mo. with a victory at Saint Louis before they fell to Fairfield on Sunday. Junior Savannah Bucher, Sophomore Hailey Couch, and Sophomore Mary Kate Kesler had goal in the 3-0 victory over the Billikens.
On Sunday, the Hoosiers faced Fairfield on neutral ground. Junior goalkeeper Sachi Ananias recorded seven saves on the afternoon but the Stag proved to be too much to handle as Indiana fell, 3-0.
First Time for Everything
With the victory over Drexel on Sept. 1, head coach Kayla Bashore earned her first career win at the helm of the field hockey program. On the field, freshmen Tori Hill earned her first career start in an Indiana uniform. Hill also recorded her first shot of her career at Saint Louis on Sept. 13. Freshman Kennedy Reardon scored her first career goal that was unassisted off a deflected shot. Senior Sheridan Weiss also saw her first game where she had the game winning goal.
Worth Noting
Junior goalkeeper Sachi Ananias enters the weekend ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten in saves per game with 5.75. This puts her 32nd in the nation among NCAA field hockey goalkeepers.
Senior Kelsey Giese leads the Hoosiers on the offensive side of the ball as she ranks 41st in the country in assists per game. The captain also checks in a No. 10 in the Big Ten Conference.
Seniors Ciara Girouard and Kelsey Giese were named captains for 2019 season.
