Former Indiana assistant coach Christine Ostoich was named Central Michigan field hockey's seventh head coach in program history on Dec. 15, replacing Molly Pelowski.
Ostoich was a four-year starter at Richmond University during her playing days. She was named to the Atlantic 10 Conference All-Tournament Team twice for the Spiders as a backer. An experienced defender, Ostoich specialized as a defensive assistant coach at Indiana, which went 6-13 overall.
Similar to CMU, Indiana did not earn a conference win in the 2017 season. Indiana was second to last in the Big 10 Conference with 27 goals conceded and last with only nine goals scored in 2017.
