Lourdes began a three-game road trip on Wednesday evening, dropping a 66-40 game at 24
th-ranked Cornerstone at Mol Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Â
The Gray Wolves were held to just 27.1% shooting from the floor for the night while committing 19 turnovers.
Â
A three-pointer by
Lauren Tilden (Ravenna, Ohio/Ravenna H.S.) with 8:10 to play in the first half pulled Lourdes to within four, 18-14 before the Golden Eagles broke the game open with a 13-0 run over the next six minutes. The Gray Wolves managed just three points the remainder of the half and went into the locker room trailing 35-17.

A 16-0 Cornerstone run over eight minutes early in the second half allowed the hosts to increase the lead to 51-21 with 10:32 to play in the game. Lourdes scored nine straight points late to cut the deficit to 22, but that would be as close as the Gray Wolves would get the rest of the way.

Jesse Fidler (Archbold, Ohio/Archbold H.S.) each added eight points.
