The 2014 softball season came to an end on Wednesday evening for Lourdes University as the Gray Wolves dropped a pair of games in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference tournament held at Pacesetter Park.  Lourdes fell in the opener 3-2 to Madonna before dropping a 10-1 decision to Concordia (Mich.) in the second contest of the double-elimination event.
 
The seventh-seeded Gray Wolves, serving as the visiting team in the opening game, wasted little time jumping on the scoreboard.  Alyssa Schaub (Archbold, Ohio/Archbold H.S.) led off with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Ashley Yeager (Sylvania, Ohio/Northview H.S.), and scored on Bre Megyesi's (Whitehouse, Ohio/Anthony Wayne H.S.) single up the middle.
 
Lourdes led the second-seeded Crusaders until the third when a two-out single by Emma Cook tied the game at one.  The Gray Wolves immediately answered though in the fourth.  Hillary West (Walbridge, Ohio/Lake H.S.) led off with a single, moved to second on Erica Marvaso's (Brownstown, Ohio/Woodhaven H.S.) sacrifice bunt, and scored on Megan Mosiniak's (Swanton, Ohio/Evergreen H.S.) RBI single to right.
 
Madonna (32-8) took the lead in the fifth with a two-run single by Erin Mayes which proved to be the deciding hit in the game.
 
Bree Crampton earned the win (18-5) in the circle for the Crusaders with three innings of scoreless relief in which she allowed just one base runner, a two-out walk in the fifth.  She struck out seven, including the final five outs.
 
Kasey Graham (Oregon, Ohio/Clay H.S.) suffered the loss (5-14), giving up the three runs on seven hits in the complete game effort.  Lourdes managed just five hits in the opener.
 
Facing elimination against sixth-seeded Concordia, the Gray Wolves fell behind before coming to the plate.  The Cardinals scored a two-out run in the first inning and continued to add on from there.  A two-run home run from Amy Trionfi in the second and three more runs in the third gave Concordia a 6-0 lead.
 
The Cardinals increased the lead to seven in the sixth before Lourdes found the scoreboard.  Megyesi walked with one out and stole second.  She later scored on a two-out hit by West for the Gray Wolves' lone run of the night.
 
Concordia (27-22) scored three times in the seventh to round out the scoring.
 
Corrina Rotondo allowed just four hits and the one run in the complete game victory (14-8) in the circle while Casey Cherry (Comstock Park, Mich./Comstock Park H.S.) suffered the loss (6-10), giving up three runs and four hits in two innings of work.
 
Lourdes season comes to a close with a 13-27 record.
