• Spencer Piercefield matched his career-high in assists with seven. He has had seven assists on three occasions.
• IWU didn't record a block in the contest, a stat line they averaged 5.3 in last season. 

• I was impressed with the cohesive mentality we brought. With so many new guys and rotations, we played as one. We can obviously take care of the ball better, which we will clean up.
