BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The No. 20 Indiana field hockey team put together an outstanding offensive effort in a 4-1 win over Penn State on Friday, Oct. 23 at the IU Hockey Field in Bloomington. The Hoosiers (10-5, 3-2) had two goals from redshirt freshman Morgan Fleetwood, and single goals from freshman Shareyna Chang and senior Meg O'Connell in the win.
The Nittany Lions (5-11, 1-4) netted the first goal of the game, which would be their lone goal, as Hannah Allison scored off a penalty corner at the 10:39 mark, with the assist coming from Kelsey Amy. PSU's lead didn't last long as Chang netted her second goal of the season on a fastbreak ball that came off of sophomore Corey Brautigam and was redirected into the goal. Brautigam picked up the assist as the Hoosiers knotted the score 1-1 with 13:50 on the clock. At the 17:01 mark, Chang fought through a scramble in the circle to get the ball to O'Connell to give IU a 2-1 lead.
The Hoosiers netted one more goal before the halftime break as Fleetwood scored off a penalty corner, with the assist from junior Katie Griswold, to give Indiana 3-1 lead at the 32:04 mark.
Fleetwood scored Indiana's final goal on another corner at the 50:32 mark with the assist going to Griswold again.
