The Hoosiers have won two of their last three games and currently are 30-13 overall with an 8-8 Big Ten record.
QUICK HITTERS:
- Indiana leads the nation in three statistical categories: batting average (.386), doubles per game (2.14) and on base percentage (.477).
- Indiana is in the home stretch of the regular season as there are two weekends of play left and six total games remaining ahead of the Big Ten Tournament.

- Minnick's .508 batting average is second-best in the NCAA and the top mark in the Big Ten. She only trails Sophia Knight of Boise State who is hitting .520 at the plate.
- Minnick is one double away from breaking the program's career (54) and single-season records (19). She is currently tied with Cora Bassett for the season record and Moni Armendarez for the career record.
LAST TIME OUT:
- Indiana put together a dominant display in all facets on Wednesday at Andy Mohr Field. The Hoosiers beat Ball State in five innings, 14-1.
- The win over Ball State pushed Indiana to 30 wins in the 2025 campaign, marking three consecutive years of 30-plus wins.
- With the win, Indiana went undefeated in single-game midweek games in 2025, going 5-0 in such contests.
- Copeland nearly pitched a complete game and earned the win to improve her season record to 14-6.
- Eight different Hoosiers recorded a hit and three different Hoosiers hit a home run in the game. Taylor Minnick, Brianna Copeland and Aly VanBrandt all went yard.
