With this, Steinwascher now holds a team-high five goals to his name this season.

HOUND BYTES
Head coach John Higgins' final thoughts on the match...
"Great win for us tonight. Really tough place to go on a Friday night and get results, so i'm absolutely delighted with that. I thought we had a good first half performance and then it got really really scrappy in the second half and I was really proud of our boys and how they battled and matched Quincy ... when you get a kid like Alex [Steinwascher] up top, you just need one chance and thankfully he was able to put it away for us."
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds will remain on the road Sunday, traveling to Illinois Springfield for a matchup beginning at 3:30 p.m.
