QUOTEABLES
Indiana assistant coach Tim Verschuren
"We are disappointed in the result as it wasn't our best day nor our best performance. But, we're very proud of the team for coming off a tough loss against Ohio State. The second half was a big improvement. Credit to Minnesota, as we had to deal with their direct play and a lot of crosses from them inside the box. They send a lot of numbers forward and put in a lot of good crosses. The second half we had a good amount of chances as well. We stepped it up even when it wasn't our best start of the season."
