INS & OUTS
The Greyhounds were firing all cylinders against the visiting Cavaliers, scoring 12 seconds into the contest and never looking back. Five different Hounds scored to open the contest, with Sam Puzevic tacking on a goal one minute into the second quarter on a pass from Randgaard.
 
UIndy netted 10 consecutive goals over a span of 23+ minutes during the middle frames. Three Greyhounds scored multiple times in that stretch, including Keegan Laughlin and Nick Luitwieler. More impressively, nine of the netters were assisted by eight different players, with Schaffer contributing a pair of helpers.
 
Dylan Braddock, Mason Rockley, and Magnus Salmon each produced their first assist of the season.
 
Walsh coughed up possession a whopping 30 times – on eight occasions in three separate quarters. UIndy caused just 12 of those turnovers, with two each from Trevor Lockwood, Easton Ong, and Jack Sullivan.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Freshman Noah Segal saw action between the pipes for the first time this season, making one save during his fourth-quarter stint.
- Parker's 14 ground balls are tied for the fourth most in a single game in program history
- Each Braddock brother has scored in the same game three times this season.
- Alvin Finnels recorded his first-career ground ball in the win.
- UIndy's 18 goals is the most in a game since April 29, 2023, against Quincy.
- Wednesday marked Randgaard's first hat trick in over a year when he recorded back-to-back to open the 2023 campaign.
 
UP NEXT
The Greyhounds will take a brief hiatus from home and visit the Lake Erie College Storm on Saturday in Painesville, Ohio. UIndy leads the all-time series, 6-1, and has won each of the past four meetings.
