QUOTABLE

"Maryland played a fantastic match tonight. I do not think we started on time, and they are an excellent team at home. We made some adjusts in the second and third match where had a chance to extend the match but could not make the plays we needed to at crunch time. We have a huge week ahead of us with two ranked teams. The conference does not allow you much time to reflect and we need to be ready in the gym on Monday." – Head Coach Steve Aird

UP NEXT

Next, the Hoosiers will take on Nebraska on the road in a midweek matchup on Wednesday, October 13. The match is set for 9 p.m. ET and will broadcast live on ESPNU.
