Wrapping Up Last Week: Haggi Amirally scored three times while Reece Riccardi and Judah Goodridge each found the back of the net as well on Thursday as Lourdes defeated Grace Bible 5-0 in Wyoming, Mich.  Amirally had the match-winner just 1:49 into the contest while Riccardi had a goal and an assist.  Adilson Darosa added two helpers as well.  Jose Cedillo made a pair of saves to earn the shutout in goal.

Scouting Andrews: The Cardinals are still looking for their first victory of the season after suffering an 8-0 setback at home against Judson on Monday evening.  Andrews is still looking for its first goal of the year, and travels to Moody Bible on Friday evening before heading to Lourdes.

Amirally Earns WHAC Honors: Haggi Amirally became just the second Gray Wolf in program history to earn Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts at Grace Bible.  The senior recorded a hat trick, scoring on three of his five shot attempts, all of which were on goal.

Fourth Hat Trick in Program History: Haggi Amirally's three goals at Grace Bible marked just the fourth hat trick in school history.  Jake Kirchoff-Sleet (5 goals) and Ryan O'Hara (3 goals) recorded the first at Lourdes in the same match on Sept. 7, 2016 against Great Lakes Christian.  Demaro Fowler added a hat trick one week later at Cincinnati-Clermont.  For Amirally, he entered the match with just two career goals, but now leads the team with four tallies this year.

Clean Sheet for Cedillo: Jose Cedillo recorded his fifth career shutout in the win over Grace Bible.  The fifth-year senior goalkeeper needed to make just two saves in the win, but lowered his season's goals against average to 0.87 and increased his save percentage to .786.

Controlling the First Half: Lourdes has found the back of the net first in all three of its matches this season.  In fact, the Gray Wolves have yet to yield a first half goal defensively, outscoring the opposition 4-0 in the opening 45 minutes.

Lending a Helping Foot: Adilson Darosa handed out a pair of assists for the Gray Wolves in the victory at Grace Bible, his first two helpers of the season.  For his career, Darosa now has three assists, and has increased his point production to 15, tied for third most in program history.
