Indiana picked up its fifth win in the last six games with a 3-2 victory at No. 4 Notre Dame on Wednesday night. Trailing 1-0, freshman Rich Balchan tied things up with his second goal of the season in the 18th minute. Balchan's shot from the top corner of the penalty box was his only attempt of the night. Indiana took a 2-1 lead in the 71st minute when Kevin Noschang scored his team-leading fifth goal of the year. Eric Alexander dished off to Noschang, whose shot rolled under Notre Dame goalkeeper Chris Cahill. After Notre Dame's Joseph Lapira scored just three minutes later, redshirt freshman Neil Wilmarth scored what would prove to be the game winner at 80:33.
