Lourdes found the back of the net twice on Saturday afternoon against a Davenport squad that had surrendered just one goal in eight matches this season, but the Panthers scored the match-winner midway through the second half to defeat the Gray Wolves 3-2 at Wildcat Stadium in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference opener for both sides.
 
"I was proud of the effort the girls showed today," head coach Jackie Donovan said afterwards.  "To put two goals up on a solid Davenport team shows that we're making good strides moving forward."
 
Karlie O'Keefe (Sylvania, Ohio/Northview H.S.) put the Gray Wolves on the scoreboard just 10:12 into the contest.  She created a takeaway from a Panther and dribbled into the box before firing into the upper 90 for her first collegiate goal.
 
Katherine Steiner tied the match at the 28:23 mark, taking a long ball from Lacey Chanady and scoring from inside of the 18, evening the score at one.  Steiner again found the back of the net just 4:06 later, playing a touch from Nea-Stina Liljedahl inside of the six to give the Panthers a 2-1 lead, an advantage they would hold into intermission.
 
O'Keefe scored her second goal of the match just 9:23 into the second stanza.  Tori Koontz (Chesterfield, Mich./L'anse Crevse North H.S.) played a ball from the top of the box down toward the goal post and O'Keefe snuck the ball past netminder Regan Troff.
 
Davenport (8-0-1, 1-0 WHAC) scored the match-winner with 23:28 to play as Steiner took a shot inside the box that was saved by the Gray Wolves' defense, but Allison Luurtsema tapped home the rebound.
 
The Panthers outshot Lourdes 19-10 on the afternoon, and held a 9-6 advantage in shots on goal.  Troff made six stops for Davenport while Kiley Transit (Royal Oak, Mich./Royal Oak H.S.) made five saves for Lourdes.  Davenport also held an 11-2 edge in corner kick opportunities in the match.
 
Lourdes (2-4-1, 0-1) will remain home on Wednesday afternoon as the Gray Wolves host Aquinas.  Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium.
