INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 12 UIndy women's lacrosse team could not overcome a big fourth quarter run by sixth-ranked Maryville on Sunday, closing the regular season with a 13-11 loss from Key Stadium. With the loss, the Greyhounds will be seeded second in next weekend's GLVC Championship Tournament hosted by the top-ranked Saints.
 
Five Greyhounds scored two goals on Sunday, with Megan Dunn recording a team-high five points. Joey Fowler added three caused turnovers to her efforts on the offensive end, resulting in two goals and one assist.
 
INS & OUTS
Mackenzie Winn sparked a run early at the 11:21 mark of the second quarter, scoring for the second time after Ella Fornek netted back-to-back goals late in the period. Maryville did its best to cut into that deficit, but freshman netminder Ava Graham had other plans, making a save before the halftime buzzer to keep the Saints at bay.

The league rivals traded goals after the break, with Olivia Bladon finding the back of the cage less than 90 seconds into the half to build a 10-7 advantage. However, the Saints flipped the script over the final 28 minutes, limiting just one more Greyhound goal – Dunn at 11:44 in the fourth quarter – the rest of the way.
 
Maryville scored five times in the frame, including the final four goals in the last nine minutes.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Dunn became the fourth-ever Greyhound to tally 100 points in a single season and is 10 from tying Grace Gunneson and Destinie Katz for second all-time.
- Graham finished with eight saves between the pipes, four of which came on free position attempts.
- Both defenses had impressive stretches, as UIndy held Maryville scoreless for nearly 18-and-a-half minutes during the middle quarters. In turn, the Saints held the Hounds off the scoreboard for almost 17 minutes in the second half.
- Malaena Michielin led the team with eight draw controls and four ground balls.
- Following Winn's stretch-inducing goal in the second quarter, Caroline Krauch joined her teammates in the scoring column.
