COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State field hockey team celebrated its Senior Day with a resounding 6-0 win over Indiana, keyed by the play of sophomore Mackenzie Allessie, who had her second hat trick in as many games this weekend.
“It was a great way to celebrate Senior Day and for this team and honor our seniors,” said head coach Jarred Martin. “To win again at home with a shutout is a great indicator of what we did on the offensive end creating shots but also how our team worked together on defense to limit chances.”
Allessie, a sophomore from Mount Joy, Pa., had two first-half goals and another in the fourth quarter to finish off a weekend in which she scored six times. Other Buckeye goal scorers on Sunday were seniors Sammy Stone and Niki Trzaska along with freshman Lotte Algra.
