PRINCETON, N.J. - The Hoosiers concluded their weekend at Princeton with a 19-5 win over the George Washington Colonials. George Washington got the jump on IU to start the game, but the Hoosiers finished the game with a 15-1 scoring run for their fourth consecutive win.

Kelly Matthews led seven Hoosiers in scoring with five goals, bringing her total to 13 scores on the weekend. Jennifer Beadle and Candyce Schroeder had outstanding offensive days as well, netting four goals each. Colleen McNaught added two goals for nine on the weekend, followed by Summer Creighton and Sarah Myers with one goal apiece.

Nine Hoosiers were credited with assists in Sunday’s win. Alexis Jones led Indiana with four assists, followed by Myers, Ellie Stott, and Rebecca Gerrity with two assists each. McNaught led the Hoosiers in assists for the weekend with an average of three assists per game.

A key component of Indiana’s win was their defense, which locked down for the final three quarters of play. Eight Hoosiers shared a total of 12 steals, and the defense posted shutouts in the second and fourth quarters.

With that win, the Hoosiers improve to 5-1 in CWPA play.

Up next, the Hoosiers head home for their final weekend of the regular season. Indiana will begin the weekend on Saturday evening against Bucknell at 8:00 pm ET. They close the regular season on Sunday, April 19 against Mercyhurst at 9:00 am ET, followed by a non-conference game against Gannon.
