Here are five important things about this afternoon's Big Ten Field Hockey Tournament Championship Match:
1. Iowa beat Ohio State in overtime to win the Big Ten title and gain an automatic invitation to the NCAA tournament.
2. Sometimes field hockey is more entertaining to watch than football.
3. If they made the sticks longer, the players wouldn't have to bend over so much.
4. Ohio State's freshman goalie Ally Tunitis looked just like the abominable snowman (or snowwoman) in her enormous pads, enormous light grey jersey, and white helmet.
5. On the penalty corners, the defending players have to start the play crammed into their own goal before rushing out once the play starts. When Ohio State did this, it looked like four field hockey players running out of the abominable snowman's cave being chased by the abominable snowman.
