INDIANA, Pa. – After dropping a pair of games last week, the IUP field hockey team looks to bounce back as they take on Frostburg State and No. 1-ranked Shippensburg in games this week. 

IUP will travel to Maryland to face Frostburg State in a non-conference tilt on Wednesday night before hosting the top team in Division II on Sunday at noon. That game will be the Hawks' Senior Day. 

IUP is 8-4 overall and enters the week seventh in the PSAC standings with a 3-4 league mark. Frostburg State is 1-12 on the year while the Raiders are 12-0 overall and 7-0 in the PSAC.
