UDM Downed By Marist

Box Score

Junior Matt Gregson (Flint, MI/Powers Catholic) and freshman Joel Matthews (St. Catharines, ON/Holy Cross Secondary) scored two goals, but a tough second period was the story as Detroit took a 13-6 loss to Marist on Saturday afternoon at Titan Field.

Junior Tim Lehto (Farmington, MI/North Farmington) added a goal and an assist, while sophomore John Nowicki (Clinton Twp., MI/De La Salle Collegiate) tallied a marker. Gregson also added a helper and picked up three ground balls, while Matthews scooped up four GB's. Freshman Brandon Davenport (Grosse Pointe Woods, MI/GP North) won 11 face-offs on the day with five ground balls and freshman defenseman Jordan Houtby (St. Catharines, ON/Holy Cross Secondary) added four.

Detroit (2-12, 1-6 MAAC) took a 2-1 lead late in the first as Matthews and Lehto found the back of the net just 32 seconds apart from each other. From there, Marist (8-4, 5-1 MAAC) notched the game's next 10 goals to go up, 11-2.

In the third with a man down, Nowicki was able to beat the goalie for his seventh of the season and that was followed by Gregson's score at the 2:52 mark.

The Red Foxes got one back early in the fourth, but Lehto found Gregson for his second of the game with under four minute to go. The midfielder then hooked up with Matthews for the Titans last score.

Senior goalkeeper Vince Diana (Massillon, OH/Jackson) started and played all 60 minutes in net recording 13 saves and picking up five ground balls.

As a team, Detroit won the battle of ground balls, 41-39, and forced 18 Marist turnovers on the day.

The red, white and blue will end the season next Saturday as the Titans face Wagner at 11:00 a.m., on Titan Field. The contest will also mark Senior Day with Detroit honoring their two seniors in Diana and Chris Butts.
