IOWA CITY, Iowa ––– Indiana Field Hockey opened Big Ten play with a victory against No.2 Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa at Grant Field on Friday evening. The Hoosiers improve to 5-2 overall and 1-0 in the B1G.
KEY MOMENTS
• Fourth year midfielder Javi Baeza put the Hoosiers on the board early, notching in a goal in the second minute to give them the 1-0 advantage. Baeza's early strike makes the fifth game in a row where the Hoosiers have scored first. In the remainder of the first, IU did not allow Iowa any shots on goal.
• Third year goalkeeper Sadie Canelli made crucial contributions in the second quarter, making a save to prevent the Hawkeyes from tying up the score. As play went into the break, IU totalled three shots and Iowa attempted two.
• Second year forward Celia Arroyo Cabezudo opened the third quarter with a goal of her own, making the Hoosier advantage steeper (2-0).
• Second year forward/ midfielder Molly Stutte helped the effort as the third continued into the 40th minute, knocking a shot in the cage behind the goalkeeper to put the Cream and Crimson up 3-0.
• Iowa continued to add shots in the third, but only one stayed on goal.
• The Hawkeyes notched their first goal in the 50th minute, making it a 3-1 contest with ten minutes left to play.
• Despite the opposition picking up the momentum, Indiana kept control of the ball to conclude the contest 3-1.
NOTABLES
