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.
Briefly on the Buckeyes
Ohio State played a pair of hard-fought overtime games last weekend at No. 5 Northwestern but dropped them both by the scores of 4-3 and 3-2, respectively.
Ohio State is 0-7 on the year with all seven of their games coming against teams ranked in the top-12 of this week’s NFHCA poll.
Six of Ohio State’s seven games have been decided by one goal and three have gone to overtime.
The Buckeyes’ eight goals have been scored by seven different players. Sophomore Mackenzie Allessie has three scores – two in last Friday’s game vs. Northwestern – while the other goal-scorers are: Emma Goldean, Nikki Trzaska, Sina Schwinn, Sarah Charley and Leanne Bough.

That’s how things stood for the next 37 minutes, but
Emma Goldean and
Nikki Trzaska changed that late in the third quarter. Trzaska centered a pass to Goldean from right to left and she put the ball past Rutgers goalie Gianna Glatz to knot the score at 1-all.
