Defiance found the scoreboard in the seventh minute when Jeremy Fuller capitalized off passes from Noah Paxton and Will Gelhausen for a goal.
After falling in a 1-0 deficit, Stephen Fite even the score by producing a goal in the 13th minute assisted by Jordan Bossman.
The Ravens went up 2-1 when Usman Kamara netted a goal assisted by Fite.
"I thought Stephen Fite was great; thank goodness he came to play," Coach Scott Fridley said. "[Wednesday] was not our best effort, but any winning day in the HCAC is a good day. Three points are three points. I'm proud of the boys to come back from the deficit, but unfortunately, that has been a normalcy this season. We need to clean this up if we are going to keep this win streak going."
