BLOOMINGTON, Ind. –––– Following a 2-0 weekend, Indiana Field Hockey freshmen Mijntje Hagen and Sadie Canelli each earned Big Ten honors for their outstanding play.

Hagen was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week and Canelli was honored with Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week by the conference office on Monday afternoon.

The Hoosiers took two of the three weekly Big Ten awards. Michigan's Abby Tamer won the conference's Offensive Player of the Week honor.

Both Hagen and Canelli served in key roles in Indiana's 2-1 win at No. 12 Iowa in overtime and the 4-0 shutout of Monmouth over the weekend.

Hagen had one assist in the win at Iowa and scored two of the team's four goals in the win over Monmouth. Over the course of the weekend, Canelli had seven total saves and didn't allow a goal against Monmouth.

The distinction was the first conference honor of each player's career.
