MORE NOTES
UIndy had an especially remarkable season in 2020-21. Along with the challenges posed by the pandemic, the Hounds overcame a 0-7 start to become one of the best teams in the conference over the last seven weeks. They won 11 of their final 16 games to earn an improbable postseason berth, culminating in a come-from-behind win against the No. 2-ranked team in the GLVC quarterfinal.
 
"We really grew throughout the year," said Head Coach Paul Corsaro after the loss Saturday. "We went 11-5 in our last 16 games, and we showed a lot of heart throughout the year. My guys played really hard, and they're a really good group of kids too; they're great people.

"I'm definitely encouraged that we got this team moving in the right direction."
