INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men's lacrosse team (4-4) faced its third ranked opponent of the season Wednesday, hosting No. 12 Lake Erie College in what finished as a 13-4 win for the visiting team.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Facing Division II's top scoring team, the Hounds found themselves down early. The Storm held UIndy scoreless for the first quarter and went on to score the game's first eight goals.
 
After managing just one goal on six shots in the first half, the UIndy offense generated more opportunities after intermission. The Greyhounds would score consecutive goals in the fourth quarter to creep within six but would get no closer.
 
Both Parker Kump and Sam Horning finished with two goals apiece to lead the Hounds offensively. Max Gerhardt, Parker Johnson and Matt Schoeneck each had an assist.
