The win marked the Hoosiers\u2019 fourth straight and improved the season record to 25-6 overall and 7-2 in the Big Ten. After a quick top of the first, Maryland struck first with a 2-run home run from Anna McGowan to put the Terrapins up 2-0 in the bottom of the inning.  Indiana got on the board in the top of the fourth via a solo home run by Madalyn Strader to make it a 2-1 game.  Back-to-back doubles from Avery Parker and Josie Bird scored three Hoosier runs in the top of the fifth to put Indiana ahead at 4-2.  With two runners on base, Ella Troutt shut the door in the bottom of the fifth when she struck Logan Turner out looking to get out of the inning and protect the lead.  The Hoosiers tacked on three insurance runs in the top of the seventh from a Bird home run over the left field wall to put the lead at a commanding, 7-2.  Indiana\u2019s defense forced a quick, 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh inning to secure the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strader has hit a home run in three-straight games and has hit four in her last five games after only hitting one in her career prior to the current stretch.  The Hoosiers have won all three of their Big Ten series thus far in 2026 and this was their first sweep.  Indiana owns a 7-3 mark in road games this year.  Both of Bird\u2019s hits today were extra base hits as she recorded both a double and a home run.  Indiana has won 10-straight games over Maryland and have swept the Terrapins in the last three series (2023, 2025, 2026). The win streak dates back to the 2021 season.  Indiana will be back in action this evening when it faces No. 16 Oregon at 5 p.m. at Andy Mohr Field in Bloomington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Baseball Drops Series Finale to Minnesota <\/strong>\u00a0With a chance to sweep its first series of the season, the Indiana Baseball team (10-13, 3-6 B1G) got hit early by a determined Minnesota offense. The visitors forced the Hoosiers into the bullpen in the second inning and never looked back. Behind a trio of home runs, Minnesota salvaged the weekend finale \u2013 14-2 (F\/8) \u2013 on Sunday afternoon at Bart Kaufman Field.\u00a0Sophomore southpaw\u00a0Brayton Thomas\u00a0(L, 1-2) has been fantastic all season but didn&#8217;t have his best stuff in his sixth start of the campaign. He gave up six runs \u2013 five via the home run \u2013 and was pulled after recording just five outs in the game. An already stretched IU bullpen used eight total pitchers to make it through the eight innings of action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redshirt senior right-handed pitcher\u00a0Eli Walker\u00a0and senior left-handed pitcher\u00a0Anthony Gubitosi\u00a0each made their season debuts.\u00a0IU&#8217;s offense made hard contact against a trio of pitchers but struggled to get runners on base. Minnesota gave up just six hits and walked only one batter. Freshman second baseman\u00a0Landen Fry\u00a0drove home the opening run on an RBI groundout in the fifth. Sophomore first baseman\u00a0Jake Hanley\u00a0finished out his fantastic week with an RBI single in the eighth inning.\u00a0Despite losing the final game of the weekend, IU took its first series of the season after winning on Friday and Saturday. The Hoosiers will close out this four-game homestand with a visit from Indiana State on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. Conference play takes IU to Nebraska for a three-game set next weekend at Haymarket Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Men&#8217;s Tennis Defeats Penn State at Home <\/strong>                                                                                                                                                              The Indiana men&#8217;s tennis team captured its eighth win of the season Sunday, defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions 4-1.  Indiana started the day with strong performances at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. The No. 62-ranked team of\u00a0Michael Andre\u00a0and\u00a0Matteo Antonescu\u00a0picked up a 6-4 win at No. 1 doubles, continuing their momentum after defeating the No. 1-ranked doubles team Friday against Ohio State. At No. 3 doubles,\u00a0Sam Landau\u00a0and\u00a0Braeden Gelletich\u00a0picked up a 6-4 win against Penn State&#8217;s Marcus Schoeman and Emil Matikainen. Landau and Gelletich are now 3-0 in dual matches as a doubles team this season.  In singles, Indiana secured the match with three points from\u00a0Sam Landau\u00a0at No. 1,\u00a0Michael Andre\u00a0at No. 3, and\u00a0Braeden Gelletich\u00a0at No. 4. All three won in straight sets. Landau picked up his first win at No. 1 singles since Mar. 8. Andre moves to 4-1 on the season when playing at No. 3 singles, and Gelletich improves his record at No. 4 singles to 3-2.  Indiana is now 8-7 overall and 2-4 in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers turn their attention next weekend to their rivalry match against Purdue on Saturday, Mar. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor&#8217;s Kiana Siefert Highlights Outdoor Opener with a Pair of Victories<\/strong>                                                                                                                                      Kiana Siefert carded victories in the long jump and 4&#215;100-meter relay to kick start the outdoor season for the Trojan women at the IWU Polar Bear Classic.  Taylor sent a plethora of athletes across the county in its season-opening meet at Indiana Wesleyan over the weekend. Siefert was a part of the Trojans two victories, leaping a distance of 18 feet 10.75 inches in the long jump before joining Nicole Braz Domene, D\u2019Arjha Davis, and Adrienne McKean in the 4&#215;100-meter. The quartet raced to a time of 47.73, under a second off the program record for the winning mark. A trio of Trojans placed in the top ten in the 100-meters led by Davis with a time of 12.48. Blessing Ogbiwei began her outdoor collegiate career with a remarkable time of 12.61 and McKean finished in 12.83.  Davis also finished in the top ten in the 200-meters with a time of 25.90. Braz Domene was the top Trojan in the event, finishing sixth with a time of 25.70. Braz Domene also led Taylor in the 400-meters, breaking the minute mark at 59.29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the long-distance events, Emersyn Funk and Addie Draper finished third and sixth in the 1,500-meters, while Rebekah Firestone was runner-up in the 5,000-meters and Kennedy Applegate came in seventh.  Taylor had great performances in the hurdles as Siefert finished second in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.42 and Claire Bailey finished fourth in the 400-meter hurdles at 1:04.16.  Melody Patterson had a jump of 29 feet 10.75 inches in the triple jump to finish sixth. Alli Holder cleared a height of four feet 9.75 inches in the high jump and Elliana Transparenti cleared the bar of nine feet 7.25 inches in the pole vault. Savana Halfman and Kaylin Hiehle competed in the shot put and discus for the Trojans to round out the field events.  The Trojan women compete next in the Marian Knight Open on Friday, March 27th beginning at 8:00 am in Indianapolis, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor&#8217;s Mike Lambert Cards Victory in the Hammer Throw in Outdoor Opener <\/strong>                                                                                                                       Taylor opened the outdoor track and field season at the IWU Polar Bear classic over the weekend, with Max Lambert carding a victory in the hammer throw.  Lambert threw a career-best distance of 149 feet 10 inches in the hammer throw, which topped a field of 30 athletes. The senior also led TU in the discus with a toss of 122 feet one inch.  Wade Jones was the top-finishing Trojan in the 100-meters, crossing the line in fifth place with a career-best time of 10.74. Jones also led Taylor in the 200-meters, placing third among 73 athletes and clocking another career best with a mark of 21.42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Ortiz and Ethan Morgan crossed the line in fourth and eighth in the 1,500-meters with times of 4:04.63 and 4:06.94. In the only other long-distance event of the meet, Jordan Burden clocked a time of 15:22.92 in the 5,000-meters and finished fourth.  Spencer Stout had top ten finishes in both hurdle events. The sophomore clocked a time of 15.28 in the 110-meter hurdles before coming within half a second of his career best in the 400-meter hurdles with a mark of 55.84.  A 4&#215;100-meter relay team of Orlando Chatwell, Matteo Baldwin-Alvardo, Gavin Harris, and Aaron Van Dop finished third in the event with a time of 45.08.  Josh Forbes led the Trojans in the pole vault, clearing a height of 15 feet three inches. Two freshman joined Forbes in the top ten, Drake Howard and Lucas Bland, who cleared heights of 14 feet nine inches and 14 feet 3.25 inches respectively.  The Trojan men compete next in the Marian Knight Open on Friday, March 27th beginning at 8:00 am in Indianapolis, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will Saxby and Lucas Pacer Shine in Taylor&#8217;s Loss to No. 3 Aquinas<\/strong>                                                                                                                                         For the second time in a week, Taylor hosted a top-10 battle at Wheeler Field, this time suffering a 19-8 loss to third-ranked Aquinas.  The Trojans finished the day with two more shots and five more ground balls than the Saints (6-1, 2-1 WHAC), while Aquinas managed just 13 successful clears in 24 tries and committed three more turnovers than Taylor.  Despite those numbers, Aquinas put 26 shots on target and found the net on 19 of those attempts to roll past the upset-minded Taylor squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will Saxby opened the scoring for a quick 1-0 TU lead, and scores from AJ Harris and Jack Kaiser pulled the Purple and Gray within 4-3 at the end of the first period.  Aquinas began to pull away in the second however, netting the first four scores of the frame for an 8-5 lead at the break and then putting the game away with a six-goal spurt to open the third. Saxby paced the Trojans with five goals with Jackson Dale adding two assists. Lucas Pacer led the defense with nine ground balls and four caused turnovers.  No. 8 Taylor (5-2, 1-2 WHAC) will look to snap its two-game skid when it plays at Siena Heights (0-7, 0-3 WHAC) on Wednesday, March 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor-MVNU Baseball Series Finale Cancelled<\/strong>                                                                                                                                                                            No. 3 Taylor was scheduled to play a Crossroads League doubleheader at Mount Vernon Nazarene on Saturday, March 21, but both games were cancelled due to MVNU&#8217;s failure to schedule umpires for the contests. Per Crossroads League policy, the home team is responsible for providing game officials, and failure to do so results in a forfeit. As a result, Taylor will be awarded two forfeit victories following submission of paperwork to the NAIA.  The Trojans will return to CL action on Friday-Saturday, March 27-28, when Bethel visits Winterholter Field for a four-game series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University Softball Hoosiers Sweep Maryland in College Park The fruitful weekend at Maryland continued for Indiana Softball on Sunday as the Hoosiers handled the Terrapins, 7-2, on Sunday afternoon for a series sweep.
