EAST LANSING, Mich. ––– No. 13 Indiana Field Hockey topped Michigan State 1-0 on Friday afternoon in East Lansing, Mich. to improve to 7-3 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

The Hoosiers have won seven of their last eight matchups.

KEY MOMENTS
• In the third minute of play, the first quarter started off with an early penalty corner to be taken by the Hoosiers. Michigan State had the opportunity to take a corner of its own in the sixth minute, but both teams completed their attempts without scoring.
• During the corner by the Spartans, third-year goalkeeper Sadie Canelli aided in the unsuccessful shot by making a crucial save for the Hoosiers. The game would remain scoreless after the first.
• In the second frame, Indiana's defense picked up the pace of play and didn't allow Michigan State a shot until the final minutes of the half. Second-year midfielder Sydney Meltzer attempted four back-to-back penalty corners through the 26th and 27th minutes of play. In her attempts for the Hoosiers, first-year midfielder Gabriela Garayo Aranceta and second-year forward/midfielder Molly Stutte both attempted shots that were blocked.
• After the break, Meltzer got another attempt at a penalty corner. In the attack, second-year back Lily Freeman notched a shot that was blocked by the Spartan goalie. Despite two more attempts in the circle by the Hoosiers, it was a 0-0 game as the final quarter began.
• The zero on the scoresheet wouldn't last much longer for Indiana, as Freeman notched one into the cage off a penalty corner attempt to give IU the 1-0 advantage. As play continued, Michigan State was unable to find an opportunity to equalize which gave Indiana the victory.

NOTABLES
• Indiana went for nine total penalty corners throughout the match.
• The 7-3 record is the best start through 10 games since 2014, which also was a 7-3 start. The Hoosiers also continue to be undefeated in conference play.
