Four games. 280 minutes. Four hours of field hockey. And the IU women's field hockey team has yet to give up a goal. The Hoosiers defense has been led by two very different defenders. On one side there is freshman center back Morgan Miller who is extremely modest about her play and the honors that she has already received as a freshman, which includes being the first Hoosier to win the Big Ten defensive player of the week. "I really don't think it is an individual honor," Miller said. "It is hard for me to take (the award) and think it is just me, because it's not. I just see it as being in the right place at the right time and doing my role."
