BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -
The Indiana field hockey team picked up a pair of wins on Saturday in the first day of spring competition, defeating Ball State and Missouri State at the IU Field Hockey Complex.
In addition to being the first games of the spring, the two matches also marked the first competition under new head coach Amanda Janney.
In game one, the Hoosiers used a well-balanced approach with three different players netting goals, including Karen Lorite, Rachel Stauffer and a pair of scores by Hannah McDermott.
Freshman Maddie Latino recorded three assists in the game.
On the defensive side, goalkeepers Katie Johnson (4) and Marcia Lewis (2) combined for six saves in the match.
Against Missouri State, Lorite exploded for three goals, one of which came off an assist from freshman Taylor Pearson.
Johnson picked up four saves in the second game, which Indiana won following a shootout, 4-3.
The Hoosiers return to the IU Field Hockey Complex next Saturday as they play host to Miami (Ohio) and Ohio State.
