The final game of the season for the Hoosiers will be a matchup with Purdue at Armstrong Stadium on Oct. 28.

"This team has progressed every single game and has such fight that we've developed from everything we've been through from injuries and other adversities," said head coach Amy Berbary. "We have to continue to progress as a program. Now it's a question of where do we finish in the Big Ten and can we find a way in these last two games to get better and come out with a couple of victories?"
