White Wins First Two Contests: Andre White made his Lourdes debut last Wednesday, logging a shutout against Concordia (Mich.).  He followed that win up with another victory on Saturday, making four stops against Indiana Tech.  In two matches he sports a .714 save percentage.

Davis Becomes Third Multi-Goal Scorer: Aaron Davis headed home a pair of goals on Saturday against Indiana Tech, becoming the third Gray Wolf to score two goals in a match.  Jake Kirchoff-Sleet was the first multi-goal scorer, doing so against Walsh before Adilson Darosa accomplished the feat a week later versus Cleary.
