INDIANAPOLIS—The No. 4-ranked UIndy men's lacrosse team opened its home slate with comeback win versus the No. 14 Seton Hill Griffins Saturday, 11-7. The Greyhounds overcame an early 5-0 deficit to defeat their second ranked opponent and remain unbeaten.
 
INS & OUTS
The Griffins came out hot, scoring five unanswered goals in the opening 12 minutes. But the UIndy offense got going just as its defense stiffened. Owain Braddock got the home team on the board late in the first and it was all Hounds from that point. The Griffins were held to just two goals to rest of the way, including one 21-minute scoreless stretch that spanned the entire second quarter.
 
The Greyhound D was at its best when a man down, holding Seton Hill scoreless on all five such scenarios. Veteran goalkeeper Austin Barnett led the defense, racking up 10 saves, while defenseman Brendan Hackl forced three turnovers and scooped two groundballs.
 
Offensively, Wyatt amassed three goals a five points, and Braddock finished with two goals on seven shots.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
-Nine Greyhounds registered at least one point, with four players – Auyer, Drew Billig, Patrick O'Hara and James Whiteford – earned two assists.
- Auyer also added three GBs to his stat line, as did Sam Arfsten.
- UIndy has won the last two meetings with Seton Hill and starting the series 0-3.
