ROMEOVILLE, ILL — The University of Indianapolis men's basketball team secured the 80-67 victory over Lewis to start 1-0 in GLVC play. 

Carmelo Harris led the Greyhounds with 17 points and added 3 assists for the UIndy offense. Redshirt Sophomore Kelvin Amoako added 16 points shooting from a .857 clip from the field while grabbing a game-high 8 rebounds.

After UIndy trailed by four entering the second half, the Hounds went on a 7-2 run, capitalized by a Pierce Thomas steal and dunk to give the Hounds a one-point advantage four minutes into the half.

The two squads traded points and the lead until the Hounds used a 16-6 run to pull away from the Flyers with a 12-point lead with six minutes remaining in the contest. A deep-three from Cale Cosume seemed to give the Lewis squad momentum, until Nate Dudukovich picked up the and-one to keep control in UIndy's possession.

A final three-pointer from Harris gave the Hounds their final points of the contest before the Flyers earned the final points of the contest off an Anthony Sydnor driving layup.
