Although the IU women's soccer team did their part winning their two games over the weekend they still fell just short making it to the Big Ten Tournament due to Illinois defeat over Ohio State. This was not how the Hoosiers anticipated ending their season after last year's bow out in the round of sixteen in the college cup. However, this team can build on the fact that graduate no seniors and played very competitive in conference play losing every game by just a goal. Going 3-0-1 to finish the season is something junior midfielder Kristin Arnold said her team can be proud of.

It took four scrappy, heartbreaking weekends, but the IU women’s soccer team was finally able to pick up important Big Ten Conference points. Coming into the weekend 0-6 in conference play, the Hoosiers had received zero points.

It’s turned over to them.”

Losing Big Ten Conference games at home is not something to which the IU women’s soccer team is accustomed. In the previous two years, the Hoosiers have gone a combined 7-1-1 in-conference at Bill Armstrong Stadium. This weekend, however, the Hoosiers (5-6-0) dropped two home games as they opened conference play against No. 22 Penn State and Ohio State. Friday, IU lost to the Nittany Lions 1-0, and yesterday they were defeated by the Buckeyes by that same score.

Junior midfielder Kristin Arnold has been in this position before. Arnold and the Hoosiers (5-4) were dead-locked at 1-1 with Loyola (Chicago) after the end of regulation. Arnold, who led the Hoosiers in points last season, netted her first goal of the season in the second minute of the sudden-death overtime period, securing the win for IU. Arnold has a knack for coming up big for the Hoosiers in these situations. This was her fourth career extra-period goal and her sixth game-winning goal.

When the IU women’s soccer team (4-3) plays at 7:30 p.m. today against Butler (3-4) at Bill Armstrong Stadium, one Hoosier player will be doing something she has never done before – play against her sister. Junior defender/midfielder Christie Kotynski will face her younger sister, Mandi Kotynski, who is a freshman defender/midfielder for the Bulldogs, a team IU has beaten the last seven times they’ve faced off. “It’s going to be a lot different,” Kotynski said. “I never really played against her. We did a one-v-one thing in high school, and that was really the only time we played against each other, and we really didn’t talk to each other on the way home.” Kotynski said she expects to see her sister often, considering they play the same position.
