ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – The UIndy men's lacrosse displayed an impressive defensive start on Saturday afternoon before eventually falling to No. 13 Lewis by a score of 9-5.
 
Nathan Lam and Nick Luitwieler led the Greyhounds with two points apiece, while AJ Preachuk made 11 saves between the pipes.
 
INS & OUTS
The UIndy defense held Lewis scoreless for the first 22 minutes, with Keegan Laughlin responsible for the game's lone goal in the early going. The Flyers broke out in the second quarter, however, scoring six times to pull away from the visiting Greyhounds.
 
Trailing 8-1, the Hounds netted four consecutive goals to inch back within three. Lam found the back of the cage during the stretch, while Triston Schaffer capped the scoring run.
