BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Hoosiers were not able to keep up with the sixth-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes, dropping the first game of the Big Ten season by a score of 1-6. Sophomore Lena Grote recorded the Indiana goal, her second of the season.
Iowa got two goals from senior Lauren Pfeiffer, and senior Caitlin McCurdy recorded her tenth goal on the season. Five Hawkeyes scored in the contest.
Grote's goal came on a rebound of a Meg O'Connell shot. The score came in the game's 60th minute. Grote's second goal on the season doubles her total from last season.
The Hoosiers move to 5-4 on the season and 0-1 in Big Ten play. The Hawkeyes advance to 7-1 on the year. Indiana is back in action on Friday, Oct. 3, when they head to East Lansing, Mich. to take on the Spartans of Michigan State. That game will have a 6 p.m. ET opening whistle.
