INDIANAPOLIS – A season-high 12 Greyhounds found the back of the net on Sunday as the No. 8 UIndy men's lacrosse team posted a 17-2 win over Quincy University in Great Lakes Valley Conference action.  Wyatt Auyer paced the Hounds with four goals while James Whiteford added three points.

The win puts UIndy at 11-1 on the year and 4-1 in GLVC play while extending their home win streak to 27 games.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Face off specialist John Pickett wasted no time getting on the board after winning the opening face off and sprinting downfield to net his first career goal on senior day.  Whiteford, Auyer and Nathan Lam each scored one goal in the opening frame to put the Hounds up 4-0.
