Senior middie David Rogers registered a co-game-high four points on two goals and two assists to lead No. 1 Michigan to an 11-10 victory over No. 4 Arizona State before an estimated crowd of more than 1,000 in an MCLA Division I game Wednesday night in Tempe, Ariz.

Freshman attackman Thomas Paras added a pair of goals, and junior attackman Trevor Yealy, senior middie Svet Tintchev and senior attackman Clark McIntyre all finished with a goal and an assist to help the two-time defending MCLA Division I national champion Wolverines (2-0) extend their winning streak to 42 games

Michigan hasn’t lost since it fell to Georgia at the MCLA national tournament on May 16, 2007.

The Wolverines trailed, 9-8, early in the fourth quarter. But like it has done so many times before during this winning streak, Michigan rallied with nerves of steel to pull out yet another win.

“We have tremendous character on this team,” Michigan head coach John Paul said. “I think part of it is we’ve been in these situations a number of times, and we definitely don’t panic.”

In defeat, Eric Nelson finished with a team-high four points on three goals and an assist, and James Reap scored three goals for Arizona State (3-1), which had its season-opening, three-game winning streak snapped.

Defensively, goalie Dylan Westfall saved 18 shots.

Michigan led 3-2 at the end of the first quarter, an advantage it extended to 5-2 in the second. But Arizona State hung around. The Wolverines led 6-5 at halftime and 8-7 at the end of the third quarter.

The Sun Devils tied it early in the fourth, and Nelson gave Arizona State the lead, 9-8, when he scored with 12:31 remaining in regulation. But the lead was brief.

Michigan senior attackman Kevin Zorovich answered to draw the Wolverines level with 11:04 to play, and after more than eight minutes of tense, scoreless lacrosse, Rogers scored the go-ahead goal with 2:54 remaining to make it, 10-9.

Senior middie Jordan Kirschner scored with 54 seconds remaining to give Michigan an 11-9 lead. Tyler Westfall brought the Sun Devils back to within one with 21 seconds left, but it wasn’t enough.

“We played a really, really sloppy game, but we still found a way to win,” Paul said. “As disappointed as we were with the way we were playing, we’re pleased we were able to gut that out. ASU is obviously a great team.”
