BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana Field Hockey head coach Kayla Bashore announced the program's newest signing class on Monday morning. Seven of these players will join the team in the fall of 2022 and one will join in the winter.

"The class of 2026 will be exciting to watch over the next four years. Our eight newcomers have a lot of potential, personality, and ability to add to our youthful program. We're looking forward to how they will add to a dynamic group and build on the momentum from this year," Bashore said.
Â
This group of eight players hails from four different states, four different countries and features four different positions.

IU is coming off one of its best seasons in recent memory. The Hoosiers tallied 10 wins for the first time in 2012 and qualified for the Big Ten Tournament alongside six of the top seven teams in the nation.
