Michigan State women's soccer battled tough but was defeated, 2-1, at Indiana on Wednesday at a cold, windy Hoosiers' Bill Armstrong Stadium.
The Spartans suffered their fourth loss in a row by a one-goal margin, including the second 2-1 score. Indiana got on the board partway through the first half, before MSU leveled it a few minutes later, only to have the Hoosiers net the go-ahead goal on a penalty kick in the early minutes of the second half.
