The Gray Wolves scored seven times in the first quarter and added six more goals in the second, on the way to building a 13-1 lead at intermission.  Lourdes added six more goals in the third on the way to the win.
 
Dalton Vowles (Toledo, Ohio/Saint John's H.S.) scored six times, all in the first half, and added a pair of assists for an eight-point game.  Jared Yoshino (Toledo, Ohio/Southview H.S.) added four more goals and had six helpers for 10 points in the win.

"This was a good first day," head coach Patrick Yannarelli said afterwards.  "The guys are beginning to come together as a team, and the coaches are excited for spring break and the potential of this team.  We have a lot of work to do, but this team seems to be on the same page."
 
Lourdes had four goalkeepers in the game, with Conner Mishler (Lambertville, Mich./Saint John's H.S.) earning the win after making three saves without surrendering a goal in the opening period.
 
The Gray Wolves tallied 43 shots in the game and collected 52 ground balls, led by five from Casey Hilfinger (Whitehouse, Ohio/Anthony Wayne H.S.) and Austin Berger (Monroe, Mich./Saint Mary Catholic Central H.S.).
 
Peter Nichols led Cleary (0-2) with two goals while Caleb McCurtis added another.
 
Lourdes (1-0) will continue its season-opening road trip on Monday evening as the Gray Wolves head to Hardeeville, S.C. to battle eighth-ranked SCAD-Savannah.  The opening faceoff is set for 7 p.m. at the SCAD Athletic Complex.
