DURHAM, N.C. ––– Indiana lost a tough battle at No. 20 Duke, 3-2, on the opening night of the field hockey season.
The Hoosiers kept pace with the Blue Devils all night long despite falling behind early in each half. Trailing 3-2 after three periods, Indiana earned a handful of chances down the stretch, but could not convert.
The team now stands at 0-1 through the first game of the year.
KEY MOMENTS
• Duke struck first with a score in the fourth minute of the game off a penalty corner to take an early 1-0 lead.
• On its second shot of the game, Indiana evened the game at 1-1 right before the half. Graduate student Sarah Charley knocked one through to the back of the cage in the 28th minute.
• Duke scored a quick set of goals after the break in the 32nd and 37th minute of the third period to take a 3-1 lead.
• Just a few minutes later junior Maggie Carter drove up the endline to score and wrapped a shot around the corner for a goal in the 41st minute to make it 3-2.
• In the closing seconds of the third period, Indiana earned two penalty corners. The second resulted in an opportunity for a penalty stroke.
• Redshirt senior Sydney Keld found the back of the cage on the stroke, but it was negated due an official ruling of Keld dragging the ball.
• Indiana had a chance to tie in the 59th minute with Charley shooting a strong shot, but Duke's Piper Hampsch made the save.
NOTABLES
• In her first career game as a Hoosier, Sarah Charley scored a goal and had two shots.
• Six Hoosiers made their Indiana debut: Charley, Maddie Olshemski, Inés Garcia Prado, Javi Baeza, Cecilia Maixner and Hannah Riddle.
• Shannon McNally and Arabella Loveridge both spent time in the cage. The two keepers combined for eight saves.
• Maggie Carter scored her fourth career goal.
