ST. LOUIS – On a beautiful pass from first-year transfer Megan Dunn, UIndy saw Joey Fowler corrall the ball and put the game-winning shot into the back of the net with just 11.8 seconds left to help the UIndy women's lacrosse team secure a massive GLVC victory over No. 19 Maryville by a score of 15-14. With the win, the Hounds improve to 12-2 (3-0 GLVC) while Maryville drops its first contest of the year after starting the season 13-0.

On the offensive side of the ball, eight players recorded one or more points in the game. The duo of Dunn and Jess Soenen each had four while Olivia Bladon was close behind with three. On defense, Bladon caused a team-leading two turnovers while Audrey Moran collected the win between the pipes with 10 saves.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Action was locked even from the first whistle to the last, with the biggest lead of the game going to Maryville at 5-2 in the first quarter and then 13-10 in the third quarter. Despite this, UIndy proceeded to climb right back into the game each time as play eventually progressed to a 14-14 score with a little over three minutes remaining.
 
Despite a successful draw control win by Sage Da Silva with 3:18 left, a turnover by the Hounds put the ball in the hands of Maryville with time slowly winding down. On their possession, the Saints had a shot hit the post on a free position with 1:26 left which then saw Soenen scoop up the ground ball. From there, the Hounds chewed the clock down which set up the Fowler goal from Dunn.

-Moran scooped up a team-high five ground balls.
-Malaena Michielin won seven draw controls for the Hounds.
-Maryville won the shots battle with 35 while UIndy had 27.

MORE NOTES
