After a slow start to the season, there does not seem to be anything wrong with the Waukesha Wings Coop High School Hockey team as they won their 3^rd game in a row with an upset of (7) Marquette on Friday Night.  On a strong performance from Junior Zed Dietrich, the Wings defeated the Marquette Hilltoppers  9-4 at Eble Ice Arena.  Dietrich, lead the scoring with three goals and two assists with help from Seniors Joe Horan and Trent Borgardt each having a goal and two assists.   

The Wings struck first in the middle of the first with a goal by Junior Alex Runge at 8:03.  Marquette answered quickly on a shorthanded goal from Sophomore Michael Gilbert at 7:31.  The Wings rebounded and Junior Zed Dietrich scored a Power Play goal at 7:45.  The first ended with a series of Wings penalties that left the Wings on a 5-3 starting the second. 

It did not take long for Marquette to capitalize with a score at 16:46 in the 2^nd on a Power Play goal from Senior JJ Kispert.  The Wings continued to struggle staying out of the box again found themselves in a 5-3 just minutes later.  Marquette again found success with a Power Play goal by Gilbert at 13:17. 

Down for the first time in the game, the Wings got it together and started a push that Marquette could not contain scoring 6 unanswered goals to go up 8-3.  Senior Dominic Florian was the first to score followed by a pair from Dietrich to finish out the second.  Seniors Cody Vanthournout, Borgardt and Horan all added to the tally with goals in the third.  Following a Hat Trick goal by Gilbert, Vanthournout found the back of the net at :37 left in the game to put the icing on a 9-4 Wings Victory.
