While Cassius Mailula started the match, Lorch came on off the bench to help the side see off HUSA to make it three wins on the bounce.
With the Red Castle now on 36 points after 20 games, they will be looking to end the season off strongly as a second-place finish could be well within their grasp.
The club will have also been boosted by the new additions who joined during the January transfer window.
The list of players include Mickael Malsa, Fahd Moufi, Zakaria Fatihi, Mohammed El Jadidi, El Mehdi Benabid and the duo of Selemani Mwalimu and Samuel Obeng who were announced last week.
Lorch is also among the January signings and before their most recent encounter, Wydad revealed that the South African would be wearing the no. 4 jersey.
