KHCHEICHE CAPS THRILLING COMEBACK WIN OVER ADRIAN

KHCHEICHE CAPS THRILLING COMEBACK WIN OVER ADRIAN

The Wolverines scored four times in the final 30 minutes to top NCAA Division III opponent Adrian College 4-3 Saturday in Adrian, Mich., moving UM-Dearborn to 2-1 overall on the season. 

Much like the season-opening win over Trinity Christian College, the Wolverines trailed 2-0 at the half and allowed the third goal just after the break to trail by three. UM-Dearborn got on the board with the first goal of the season from Jacob Drzyzga (SO/Grosse Ile, MI) in the 61st minute on a corner kick header. The assist went to freshman Tanner Wallace (FR/Riverview, MI). 

The Wolverines again cut into the lead seven minutes later on the first career goal from freshman Kevin Gondoly (FR/Dearborn, MI), who added the tying score in the 73rd minute on a header off a failed clear by the Adrian goalkeeper. 

Much like he did in his UM-Dearborn debut, freshman Ali Khcheiche (FR/Dearborn Heights, MI) found the back of the net for the game-winner, this one coming off a feed from Joseph Georgic (JR/New Boston, MI). The game-winner came with just 37 seconds left in regulation. Khcheiche has a team-high four goals, following a hat trick in the Wolverine opener. 

Adrian outshot UM-Dearborn 17-12, while Wolverine goalkeeper Dylon DaSilva (JR/Canton, MI) made seven saves. 

UM-Dearborn continues the weekend with a road contest at Olivet College at 4 p.m. Sunday in Olivet, Mich.
