Hoosiers Trip Spartans, 1-0
11/1/2024 6:14:00 PM | Field Hockey
East Lansing, Mich. - Michigan State field hockey completed its 2024 season on the road on Friday afternoon, falling in a 1-0 decision at Indiana.
The Spartans (8-10, 1-6 B1G) played well defensively, holding off 13 total penalty corners and the Spartans came up with eight saves in the third quarter alone – five by keeper Lyra Gavino, a pair of defensive saves by Caro Shafer, and one defensive save by Ellie Rutherford. Gavino finished her afternoon with six saves total.
The teams played through 45 minutes of scoreless action before the eventual game-winner came from Yip van Wonderen at 47:24. That gave the Spartans a little over 10 minutes to press for an equalizer, but despite outshooting their hosts 4-2 in the frame, the game-tying goal did not materialize.
The teams were locked in a scoreless tie at the end of the first half, with Gavino making one save and Indiana (9-8) having a 4-2 edge in attempts and 2-0 advantage in penalty corners. The Hoosier offense found a different gear in the third quarter, where it outshot the Spartans 8-1 and had nine penalty corner attempts.
The afternoon was the career finale for four Spartan seniors – Ellie Wheatley, Emma O'Neill, Ellie Rutherford, and Jillian Bonczewski. MSU finishes the season with double the wins it procured in 2023 (8) and owned a 3-4 record in overtime games.
