Around the Game

Field hockey team to meet Saint Louis\nThe field hockey team will meet the Saint Louis University Billikens on neutral turf at the University of Louisville\'s new field hockey facility Sunday afternoon. This will be the first of two away games IU will be playing at this facility. \nThe second is against Bellarmine Oct. 1. IU is still on quest for its first victory since becoming a varsity sport after an 18-year hiatus. The Billikens have a 1-3 record and were shutout 5-0 last Friday by the University of Iowa. IU played with intensity last weekend in the 2-0 loss against Slippery Rock and coach Amy Robertson is eager for this weekend\'s game.\n"St. Louis will be a great test for our team," Robertson said. "I watched them play this weekend and they have some great athletes. They are coming off a big win against Appalachian State ' their first win."\nEight-point outburst earns midfielder honor\nJunior Kelly Kram's eight points last weekend helped the Hoosiers to two decisive wins.\nThe offensive outburst, including three goals, also earned Kram a personal honor Wednesday, as she was named Big Ten Co-Athlete of the Week.\nKram shares the award with Minnesota's Julie Eibensteiner who was the goalkeeper for two Minnesota shutouts this weekend.\nThe Vermont Classic's leading scorer, Kram was part of five of IU's six goals in their two games against Vermont and New Hampshire. She scored the first goal in both of the team's 3-0 wins on her way to being named to the all-tournament team along with teammate, junior Stacey Petersen.\nThe honor is only the second awarded to a Hoosier, the first came to now assistant coach Tracy Grose in 1998.
