15 Questions with Indiana's Katie Carson
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
- The No. 17-nationally ranked Indiana Hoosiers (19-15) will travel
to Cambridge, Mass. on April 24-26 for the CWPA Eastern
Championship, where they will open with Brown University on Friday
at 1:30 p.m. The Hoosiers earned the right to compete at the
Eastern Championship by placing in the top two at the Western
Championship, where they lost a close battle to No. 12 Michigan,
9-8, in the final game.
Junior Katie Carson (Modesto,
Calif./Johansen) played a key role in the Hoosiers
successful stretch of games at the Western Championship. While
splitting time with freshman Cassie Wyckoff
(Fr., Los Altos, Calif./Los Altos), Carson allowed
only three goals during her 48 minutes of action, while also
racking up 24 saves and two assists. In the final game, she held
the talented Wolverines to two second half goals, which helped fuel
a ferocious Indiana rally that came up just short.
This season, Carson has recorded a total of 168 saves in 24 games
played, while carrying a 10.9 saves per game average. She set the
single game school record for saves with 21 stops in a 5-4 win
against UC-Santa Cruz at the UC-Santa Cruz Slugfest on February 28.
The Hoosiers will need the solid play in the cage of Carson, as
well as Wyckoff, to continue as they chase the Eastern Championship
crown.
