It's more of the same old, same old from the field hockey team -- taking it game-by-game and hopefully more winning will come along with it.

The team is in search of further dominance in the Big Ten as it heads to No. 8 Indiana (13-2, 4-1 Big Ten) and then to North Carolina to do battle with the No. 4 Tar Heels (12-3) this weekend to finish up its regular season schedule.

"We are taking it one game at a time," Penn State field hockey coach Char Morett said. "We are focused on Indiana and will look at Carolina on Friday after the game."

The team looks to go undefeated in the Big Ten, something it has never accomplished since joining the conference in 1993. Due to Indiana's upset against Iowa, should Penn State continue its winning ways, it will claim the Big Ten title outright, instead of the share of it that the team holds now.

"It's a big game," Morett said. "Not only for a championship but for a win outright, and hopefully it would give us a high seed, which is big."

The No. 6 Nittany Lions (16-1, 5-0) have not lost a game since August and intend to keep it that way with their killer defense that would rival that of the Steel Curtain in the 1970s.

"We can always improve defense," Morett said.

"We haven't given up very many goals or shots."

In fact, senior goalkeeper Megan Akstin has nine shutouts for the year and the Lions have regularly scored as many goals as their competition has shot on goal.

While the defense may look nasty, wait till the offense steps into the scoring circle.

The offense spends most of its time harassing opposing goalies, thanks to Penn State's top forwards always looking for a way into the goal.

"We need the forwards to put pressure [on the opposing defense]," Morett said. "Natty [Berrena], Annelise [Legel], and Shaun [Banta] are players, and players are the difference in the game."

Banta has definitely been the difference in the game as she leads the Big Ten in scoring.

She isn't alone at the top, as Legel remains close behind and the only one on the team to score a hat trick this season.

A loaded team and a 16-game winning streak will prove a tough match for the Hoosiers and Tar Heels.

Do you hear what I hear?

The Lions move into the hardest weekend of their jam-packed season all year with two away games against top ten teams.

Even though the postseason looms in the distance, reflection is always due.

"I'm just so proud of them," Morett said. "They haven't lost since August. It's been fun, and I enjoyed the season."
