BLOOMINGTON, Ind. –––– A big weekend awaits for the Indiana Field Hockey team with two games on the docket. The Hoosiers will play their first conference road game on Friday when they play Michigan State in East Lansing. On Sunday, Indiana will play its first home game of the season when it hosts James Madison at Deborah Tobias Field.
WEEKEND REWIND:
-Indiana spent last weekend in Evanston for their Big Ten opener at No. 3 Northwestern on Friday, Sep. 15 and a neutral site game against Penn on Saturday, Sep. 16.
-The Hoosiers fell in the Friday opener to Northwestern, 5-0.
-The Hoosiers quickly flushed Friday's performance and turned in a winning effort on Saturday, defeating Penn, 2-1, in penalty shootouts.
-In the Penn win, Indiana got on the board first, when junior Yip van Wonderen scored in the 14th minute.
-Penn tied the game at 1-1 midway through the second quarter.
-Junior goalkeeper Arabella Loveridge made a save on a Penn penalty stroke at the end of the third period to keep it at 1-1 heading into the fourth.

-Redshirt junior goalkeeper Shannon McNally was fantastic in shootouts, not allowing a single shot through the back of the cage.
