CORNER HITS

LAST TIME: ROAD TRIP WIN
Indiana Field Hockey returned to the win column last Friday with a 3-2 victory over Central Michigan on the road. The Chippewa's got on the board first, but a last second goal by Sheridan Weiss to end the first half tied the game at 1-1. Hailey Couch added on to the Hoosiers lead with a goal in the third quarter to make it a 2-1 game. Savannah Bucher scored the third goal for Indiana as they stretched the lead to two in the fourth quarter. Trying to embark on a comeback, Central Michigan pulled the match within one, but the Hoosiers goalkeeper, Shelby Querry, came up with two key saves that preserved the victory for Indiana.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING
With the victory over Drexel on Sept. 1, head coach Kayla Bashore earned her first career win at the helm of the field hockey program. On the field, freshmen Tori Hill earned her first career start in an Indiana uniform. Hill also recorded her first shot of her career at Saint Louis on Sept. 13 and first assist on Sept. 20 at Michigan State. Hills's first goal of her career came against Iowa on Oct. 18. Freshman Kennedy Reardon scored her first career goal that was unassisted off a deflected shot. Senior Sheridan Weiss also saw her first game where she had the game winning goal.

WORTH NOTING
Hailey Couch leads the Indiana offense with 10 goals and one assist to tally 21 points. Couch ranks fifth in the Big Ten Conference and 35th nationally in goal per game.

Junior Rylee Pearson has recorded three defensive saves this season. She ranks second in the Big Ten and sixth in the nation. Pearson recorded two at Rutgers and one at Fairfield, Maryland, and Ohio.

Seniors Ciara Girouard and Kelsey Giese were named captains for 2019 season.
