Wolverine ice hockey won its sixth game 5-4 against American University.
Joe Flemming scored the first goal, assisted by Greg Taylor, with about three and a half minutes remaining in the first period.
The second goal came from Jacob Mitchell, assisted by Taylor and Earl Johnson.
Matt Sutherland scored points three and four, with assists by team captain Keven Lion and assistant captain Danny Triesler.
Ryan Hebert scored the Wolverines’ last point during the final five minutes of the game, pulling them ahead of the Eagles for the win.
Lion proved his leadership by helping score the last three goals of the game.
Forward Greg Taylor, who, along with a pair of assists, took a few penalties, contributed to the team with his overwhelming speed. Sutherland powered the defense.
The Eagles showed their toughness by pouncing on Wesley every chance they got; but this did not faze the Wolverines.
Several penalties were called against American University for roughness.
