LEADING THE WARRIORS
Wayne State's unbeaten start has been spearheaded by forwards
Sienna Mroue (Dearborn, Mich.)
Mairin Wessner (Northville, Mich. [Dayton]). Mroue, the reigning GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week, sits atop the conference leaderboard with six goals and three game-winning tallies, accounting for six of the team's 13 goals. Mroue, Wessner and sophomore

Wayne State has allowed just one goal in 11 vs. 11 (478 minutes) and two goals in 62 minutes, while playing down a player. The backline effort has been anchored by defenders
