Lourdes Rolls Past Bethel in Home Opener

Photo Gallery

Lourdes scored 16 consecutive goals spanning the two halves on Thursday evening, as the Gray Wolves opened the home portion of their 2018 season with a 23-3 victory over Bethel (Ind.) at Wildcat Stadium.
 
The 23 goals set a new program record for goals in a game, surpassing the 22 goals posted in the season opener at Cleary on Feb. 4.
 
"I'm really proud of the little things the ladies did today on the field that we have been working on a lot at practice," head coach Alyssa Shaver said after the game.  "A lot of our attackers really stepped up today and our defense showed a lot of hustle."
 
Eight different Gray Wolves scored, with Katherine Garver (Maumee, Ohio/Notre Dame H.S.), Alyssa Long (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn H.S.), and Shelby Kellar (Holland, Ohio/Saint Ursula H.S.) scoring four times each. 
 
The Gray Wolves took a 2-0 lead less than three minutes into the contest on goals by Kellar and Long.  After the Pilots cut the lead in half, Tiara Reed (Maumee, Ohio/Anthony Wayne H.S.) scored the first of her two goals, jump-starting the 16 unanswered goal outburst.
 
Lourdes built a 14-1 lead at halftime and continued to add to the advantage throughout the second half.  The Gray Wolves finished with a 32-4 shot advantage, including a 28-4 edge on goal.
 
Hannah Cullis (Fort Worth, Texas/Central H.S.) and Anna Zofchak (North Canton, Ohio/Hoover H.S.) each added three goals while Ashley Hunt (Cape May, N.J./Lower Cape May H.S.) also scored twice.  Junior Brandy Lowery (Perrysburg, Ohio/Perrysburg H.S.) scored her first collegiate goal as well.
 
Garver added three assists for a seven-point game while Long had a pair of helpers on her six-point night.
 
Zofchak had a team-high four ground balls while Cullis had five draw controls as Lourdes held an 18-9 edge in ground balls and a 21-7 advantage in draws on the night.
 
Rachel Bates led Bethel (0-1) with a pair of goals.
 
Lourdes (4-2) will have a week off before traveling to South Euclid, Ohio to face Notre Dame (Ohio) next Thursday afternoon, in a match that was pushed back from Monday.  The opening draw is set for 4 p.m. at Mueller Field.
