COACH'S COMMENTS
"It was a tremendous performance from the team tonight," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "This was a great win for the program, especially the alumni. We played very well in the first half and had excellent control of the game. We were a bit unfortunate not to be up by two goals going into halftime. We had to really battle defensively second half as Indiana gained the momentum. It was a great counter goal that sealed it for us though."
UP NEXT
- The Flyers returns home for the first time since Aug. 25 as they host Wabash College Saturday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. at Baujan Field.
