Colton Praska had two goals and an assist to pace the Eagles. Dany Berbari added a goal and an assist, and Jacob Talbot earned his first varsity point with an assist.
Both teams entered unbeaten in the HVL. Lourdes is 4-0 in the league (9-2 overall), while Byron is 4-1, 7-5.
"I was very pleased with our effort as we controlled the game with solid passing and team play," Lourdes coach Tom Kane said. "Colton Praska had a great night tonight. Noah Morris was in net for the Eagles and earned his sixth shutout of the season and the team's seventh."
