Judah Goodridge (Brooklyn, N.Y./Dutchtown H.S.) scored twice and Carlos Viganoni (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Western H.S.) added a goal as Lourdes opened the 2016 season on Saturday with a 3-1 victory over Grace Bible at Wildcat Stadium.
 
"I'm very happy to win our first game," head coach Barry Spitzer said.  "We're able to see things coming together from preseason.  Our incoming class has made an impact for us."
 
Lourdes wasted little time finding the back of the net.  Viganoni went down the left side to the corner and played the ball back to Goodridge, who beat Tiger goalkeeper Drew Smith just 8:37 into the match.
 
Viganoni made it 2-0 Gray Wolves less than 20 minutes into the contest, taking a through ball from Jake Kirchoff-Sleet (Tamworth, England/Queen Elizabeth Mercian H.S.) to notch his first goal of the year.
 
Grace Bible (0-1) cut the Lourdes lead in half just over 10 minutes into the second half as Jorge Leon scored, but Goodridge added his second goal of the night with 20:49 remaining to secure the win.  Kirchoff-Sleet handed out his second assist of the contest on Goodridge's marker.
 
Lourdes outshot Grace Bible 19-7 for the match with Smith making seven saves for the Tigers.  Jose Cedillo (Atlanta, Ga./Norcross H.S.) and Andre White (Montego Bay, Jamaica/Cornwall College each made one save for the Gray Wolves, splitting time in goal.
 
Lourdes (1-0) will return to the pitch on Thursday evening, traveling to Berrien Springs, Mich. to face Andrews.  Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.
