MAKING HISTORY
In their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance, the Hounds' notched the program first-ever postseason victory with a 3-2 first-round victory against Fort Hays State back on Nov. 21. The Hounds came back two days later to knock off fourth-ranked Lake Erie by a score of 2-0.

SHARING IS CARING
Senior forward Javier Steinwascher was known as one of the best strikers in the conference heading into his final season. The All-GLVC First Team selection expanded his game this year, becoming one of the best distributors in the country. Steinwascher led the NCAA in assists per game this year, dishing out one helper per match. Despite missing a handful of games in 2019, Steinwascher finished the year with 17 assists, good for second in Division II

LETHAL ATTACK
As a team, the Hounds rank in the top 10 in the country in scoring offense. UIndy's 2.55 goals per game this puts them ninth in DII, trailing only Bellarmine (2.71) for tops in the region. Multiple players have fueled the Greyhound attack this year, as four Hounds have five or more goals. Javier and Alejandro Steinwascher lead the way with 12 and six goals, respectively, while Ben Rohder and Bryan Moreira have five goals each.

COMEBACK SZN
Since coming back to play goal for the Greyhounds, grad student Miles Palmer has been great in relief this season. In five starts to end the year, Palmer has won four of those games, shutting out three of those opponents opponents.

BROTHERS IN ARMS
The heralded duo of Javier and Alejandro Steinwascher is not the only brother combination on the Greyhound squad this year. Junior Jakub Olczyk was joined by his brother, freshman Patryk Olczyk, joined the Hounds season. The elder Olczyk has started all 20 games for UIndy, while Patryk has tallied a goal and an assist in his inaugural season.

EPIC TURN AROUND
