QUOTABLE
"Great game, I thought both teams had great segments. Notre Dame has the ability to make a deep run and we have the ability to be a team that can make runs. I thought it was a great showcase for college soccer and I have a lot of respect for Notre Dame and what they've done. It's nice to see us come up here and get a great win in front of our fans, who came out in large numbers."
-- Indiana head coach Todd Yeagley
