Coach Tim Horsmon, who said earlier in the week he hoped to set an attendance record Saturday, thanked the Red Scare student group for filling the stands for the match against Ohio State. The first 1,000 fans received White Out T-shirts Saturday.

“You guys were great on the end line this weekend,” Horsmon wrote on Twitter. “Thanks for coming out and making it a great environment. See you all again in a couple of weeks!
