The Crusaders completely dominated all of the statistical categories

go along with his team high third shutout of the season.

Pat Griffin
(Redford, Mich./Catholic Central HS) netted his ninth goal of
the season in the fifth minute of play, which held up to be the game
winner. Griffin also added two assists, moving him within two
points of the conference scoring title.
Senior forward
Derrick Mudri
(Fowlerville, Mich./Fowlerville HS) scored his third goal of
the year after an assist from
Doron Drai
(Kfar-Yona, Israel) in the 13th minute.
Drai added a goal of his own at the 30:52 mark of the first half,
giving Madonna a 3-0 advantage at the half.
Freshmen
Humberto Toscan
(Francisco Beltrao, Brazil/Berkley HS) and
Emilio Giorgi (Windsor,
Ontario/Kennedy Collegiate HS) and sophomore
Cory Maupin
(Linden, Mich./Linden HS) all were credited with assists on
Pickren's goals during the second half.
