KEY MOMENTS
• In the 13^th minute, the Hoosiers (7-1) grabbed an early lead on Andrew Gutman's team-leading sixth goal of the season.

• Dorsey netted his third goal of the season in the 74^th minute, scoring from eight-yards out after Gutman played him into space on the right side.

QUOTABLES
"Great efficiency I thought tonight. We didn't get as many chances that you'd relate to five goals that we normally have. That was a little bit of last year. You get a lot of chances this year, and it seems like we've been more efficient. It was great to get some other guys in the game tonight who work their tails off every day, so I thought we were able to rotate players. Again another shutout, pleased. A lot of good takeaways. The good news too, is we can play better and the team knows that. Again, an efficient win tonight."
-- Indiana head coach Todd Yeagley

"It's always good to make saves, being involved in the game is a good thing. I think a couple of times though, those saves we just needed to kind of clean up defensive mistakes, errors and different parts of our play. From there, it's good to be involved in the game and help my team get the win and the shutout, but we also have to tighten things up, clean it up too. It's a good and a bad thing."
-- Indiana GK Trey Muse

UP NEXT
