COLUMBUS, Ohio – In its second top 15 matchup of the weekend and fourth consecutive game against a ranked opponent, the Ohio State field hockey team fell to No. 13 Indiana, 2-1, Sunday at Buckeye Varsity Field.

After giving up an early goal, the Buckeyes (4-7, 0-3 B1G) tallied the game-tying goal in the third quarter. But the Hoosiers (8-3, 4-0 B1G) came away with the win in the fourth.

How it Happened

Penalty corners proved to be the deciders in Sunday's game, as all three goals scored on the day came from a penalty corner.
The Hoosiers took an early lead off the first corner of the game at 1:07 in the opening quarter. Ohio State goalkeeper Maddie Stevens made a stop on the initial shot before Indiana scored on the rebound to take the 1-0 lead.
Ohio State's defense was put to the test in the first half with the Hoosiers outshooting the Buckeyes, 6-0. Maddie Stevens made a save in the first quarter and Victoria Kutz made a defensive save in the second as the Buckeyes held Indiana to just one goal in the half.
The Buckeye offense broke through in the third quarter, tallying a goal on three shots and two shots on goal.
Madeline Bogle tied the game for the Buckeyes at 39:31. Ohio State earned back-to-back corners with under six minutes to play in the third. On the team's second attempt, and after the stop from Kutz, Phillippa Jowett passed the ball across the top of the circle to Bogle, who sent the ball into the Indiana cage for the equalizer.
Avery Alleva made a save in the third as the Buckeyes and Hoosiers went into the fourth quarter tied at one goal apiece.
Indiana recorded the game-winning goal at 52:37 on their first corner of the fourth quarter.

Buckeyes By the Numbers

Bogle's goal is her first of her career. The points are also the first of her career. She is the 10th Buckeye to score this year.
Ohio State held the Hoosiers to a season-low four shots on goal.
