Senior Day Triumph
On Senior Day, the Indiana field hockey team delivered a commanding 5-0 victory over Central Michigan University, underscoring their offensive firepower and disciplined defense.
Celia Arroyo Cabezudo opened the scoring with her fourth goal of the season, a finish assisted by Molly Stutte and Berta Sáenz de Santa María, illustrating the depth of the Hoosiers’ attacking options.
Mijntje Hagen added to the lead before halftime, converting a penalty corner to put Indiana up 2-0, a moment that set the tone for the rest of the match.
The Hoosiers’ dominance was reflected in the shot statistics, which showed an 18-1 advantage in shots on goal and five penalty corners taken without conceding a single goal, while goalkeeper Sadie Canelli preserved the clean sheet by denying Central Michigan’s lone attempt in the fourth quarter.
For senior forward Inés Garcia Prado, the day marked a full-circle moment as she netted her first goal of the celebration, capping four years of service with a highlight that resonated with teammates and fans alike.
Coach Kayla Bashore praised the team’s defensive pressure and the importance of maintaining a two‑three touch style as they prepare for a demanding four‑game road stretch that begins Friday with Cornell University in Columbus, Ohio.
