Indiana University’s field hockey squad fell to the University of Louisville in a tightly contested overtime thriller, slipping to a 0‑2 start to the season.
The Hoosiers rallied from an early deficit, with senior midfielder Celia Arroyo Cabezudo striking the equaliser in the fourth quarter, her first goal of the campaign.
Overtime drama and decisive stroke
Louisville’s Lauren Masters opened the scoring in the 26th minute, converting a penalty corner, and the Cardinals later sealed the win when a penalty stroke in the second extra period found the net.
Despite the loss, Indiana outshot the Cardinals 28‑10 overall and generated 16 shots on goal, a marked improvement over their previous outing against Miami.
Attackers Charlotte Glasper and Molly Stutte each contributed five attempts, with Stutte adding four on‑target shots, underscoring the team’s offensive volume.
Looking ahead
The Hoosiers will host New Hampshire on Friday at Deborah Tobias Field in Bloomington, with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. The match will be streamed live on Big Ten Plus, offering fans another chance to follow the team’s progress.
Coach and players alike hope the home crowd will translate into a breakthrough performance as the season unfolds.
