SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The No. 17 Indiana Hoosiers wrapped up its regular season with a decisive 15-1 victory over Santa Clara on Sunday afternoon at Sullivan Aquatic Center.

KEY MOMENTS

Indiana's offense got rolling early as it put up three unanswered goals to start the game off in the first. Graduate student goalie Mary Askew helped keep the Broncos (10-18) scoreless in home waters in the first period, racking up five saves.
It was more of IU (17-12, 2-4 MPSF) in the second, scoring four more unanswered goals to take an 8-0 lead at the break. Senior Zoe Crouch led the way at the half with a pair of goals.
The two teams played a tight third quarter as freshman Louisa Downes started the quarter off with a sprint win. But neither team was able to find the back of the net for most of the frame until sophomore Portia Sasser connected with 20 seconds to go.
In the fourth, the Hoosiers tacked on six more goals to increase its lead as Crouch completed her hat trick with 1:55 remaining.

Crouch led the way with three goals and an assist for a team-high four points on the afternoon. She also posted two steals.
Seniors Robyn Greenslade and Katherine Hawkins along with freshman Nicole Tyner had two goal each.
Indiana had eight assists on its 15 made goals.
