Lourdes scored three times in the first half on the way to a 3-1 victory over Rio Grande on Sunday afternoon at Wildcat Stadium for the Gray Wolves' second victory in a row.
Â
Freshman
Abigail Mann (Toledo, Ohio/Southview H.S.) started the scoring for the Gray Wolves at the 13:41 mark.Â
Annah Zacerkowny (Lasalle, Ont./Sandwich H.S.) drew the assist after sending a ball through the middle to Mann on the right side of the box. For the freshmen duo, it marked the first points in both of their careers.
Â
Mann added to the lead just 10 seconds later. Following a turnover, she sent a blast from more than 20 yards out that deflected off the goalkeeper's hands into the top of the net to make it 2-0 Gray Wolves.  Her two goals in 10 seconds are the fastest two in program history.
Â
Rio Grande (0-4) got on the scoreboard at the 20:34 mark. Following a foul in the penalty area, Ambar Torres connected on a penalty kick to cut the Lourdes lead in half.
Â
Morgan Henkle (Toledo, Ohio/Whitmer H.S.) added her first career goal with just 6:59 remaining before halftime. She connected on a header in the box after
Elaina Hillman's (Woodhaven, Mich./Woodhaven H.S.) free kick led to her first collegiate assist.
Â
Lourdes outshot the Red Storm 15-10 in the opening 45 minutes, and continued the pressure in the second half, finishing the match with a 30-12 shot advantage, but was unable to add to its lead. Jayla Brown made 10 saves in goal for Rio Grande while
Kerstyn Williams (Taylor, Mich./Woodhaven H.S.) made six stops in goal for the Gray Wolves in the victory.
Â
Lourdes (2-1) will close out its four-match homestand on Saturday afternoon as the Gray Wolves host Bethel (Ind.). Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium.
