NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. - After taking down the then-No. 1 Lindenwood Lions in the inaugural GLVC Women's Lacrosse Tournament trophy on Sunday, the UIndy women's lacrosse team (14-1, 6-1 GLVC) was placed back as the top team in the recent Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association poll, announced on Monday. The Hounds sat as the No. 1 team prior to last week's poll, but only spent one week at the second spot.

The Greyhounds were able to win the rematch against the Lions last weekend, holding their opponent to less than 10 goals for a 14th time this season on the 12-9 final score. Grace Gunneson was the Hounds' top scorer in the contest, the senior sealed five points off of four goals and an assist. Abigail Lagos was the only other student-athlete on the roster to have three or more points, the 2021 GLVC Attacker of the Year earning a hat trick to pair along an assist for four points in the contest. UIndy's other stars in Peyton Romig and Riley McClure were critical in the circle to prevent Lindenwood's offense from rolling, the two earning seven and five draw controls, respectively. Cassidy King totaled eight saves in the win against the Lions, facing against 22 shots.

The Hounds still pace the nation in several team categories on both the offensive and defensive side of the field before the NCAA post season. The Greyhounds hold the best scoring defense in the nation, only allowing a 4.53 goals per game average against their opponents. With Division II's best scoring offense also being held by UIndy (20.2 goals per game), the Hounds have solidified the nation's best scoring margin average, claiming wins on an average of 15.67 goals per contest. King sits as the top goal keeper for another week in Division II, still allowing less than five goals per game at 4.93. Romig still holds an average of 13 draw controls per game, now pacing the nation by a gap of five draw controls from the second-ranked student-athlete.

The same three teams from the GLVC are among the top-25 spots in the recent coaches poll, No. 1 UIndy and No. 2 Lindenwood alternating for a third-straight week in the top two spots. Davenport still remains among the nation's best at the final spot in the poll, their 10-2 record this season sealing them at the 25th rank.

UIndy will next take the field in 11 days when they compete in the NCAA DII Midwest Regional. Although their standing and opponent is not yet determined, the regional tournament will kick off on Friday, May 14 in St. Charles, Mo., and last until Sunday, May 16.
