BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana Field Hockey team dropped a closely-contested 3-0 match on Friday afternoon to No. 2 Iowa in the Big Ten Opener.
With the setback, IU falls to 4-3 (0-1) while Iowa improves to 7-0 (1-0) on the season.
KEY MOMENTS

• Eight minutes later, Lokke Stribos grabbed a second for Iowa off the penalty corner.

• Iowa bagged the third goal with five minutes to go.
NOTABLES
• Loveridge made a career-high six saves in goal for IU.
• Van Wonderen had two shots on goal while sophomore forward Meghan Dillon added a shot as well.
