INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Indianapolis women's Lacrosse team scored 22 goals over No. 25 Davenport on Sunday afternoon at Key Stadium. The win marks the Hounds fourth straight win and second win over a Top 25 ranked team this season.
"Super proud of our effort this weekend versus two top 25 teams," said Head Coach
James Delaney. "These types of games are always battles and I was super proud we could get the job done."
HOW IT HAPPENED
Entering the half up 8-5 when the Greyhounds returned to the field after the half it was clear they were hungry.
Kara Antonucci kicked off a four goal in less than two-minute run with an unassisted rocket into the Panthers net.
