"Our guys played hard again today," head coach Patrick Yannarelli said.  "We are coming together as a team and starting to control the tempo of the game.  Our defense continues to grow as well."
 
Lourdes trailed 6-4 late in the opening quarter before scoring five of the next six goals to take a 9-7 lead at halftime.  The Wolverines tied the contest at nine before four unanswered goals by the Gray Wolves put the guests on top for good.

Dylan Hatcher led Michigan-Dearborn (4-2, 0-1 CCLA Central) with five goals and an assist while Ruben Cabello added four goals.
 
"We're looking forward to a full week of practice before our next game," Yannarelli added.
