Big Ten tourney next for women
After starting the season slow with a 2-5 record in their first seven games, the members of the women's soccer team turned their season around going 6-4-1 in their last 11 games, propelling them into the Big Ten tournament as the sixth seed. The Hoosiers will face third-seeded Purdue in the first round, as they did last year. However, they are hoping there won't be a repeat performance of last year's tournament, when they lost to Purdue 1-0 in overtime. Sophomore forward Robin Barker said making the Big Ten tournament is a main goal for the team every season. "The Big Ten tournament is something we want to get to every year," Barker said. "We want to get past the first round and continue to get better." The Hoosiers have already lost to Purdue 2-1 in a hard-fought battle Oct. 24th. History seems to be on the Boilermakers' side, having won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. Barker said every contest with Purdue is a good game.
