Field Hockey Exhibition

Did anyone attend Saturday's home pre-season game against Iowa, or know anything about it?

There was no statcast coverage during play, and nothing on NUSports about it later. Seems odd, especially for a defending national championship program.

Very nice. I still think it's peculiar that not even a score or any account was posted of the Cats' preseason match against Iowa. To my knowledge there's no NCAA rule against at least offering gamecast records of exhibitions; I've seen some other schools do that already this season in other sports. Maybe it's an NU thing or possibly even a Big 10 policy to keep wraps on preseason competition. Anyway, it's always good to look forward to when the games count -- in any sport.
