Lourdes closed out the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference portion of its 2015 season on Wednesday evening, dropping a 15-5 decision to 10^th-ranked Aquinas at the Aquinas Athletic Field in Grand Rapids, Mich.
 
The Gray Wolves led 2-1 at the 15:48 mark of the first half following goals from Faith Fisher (Sylvania, Ohio/Northview H.S.) and Alyssa Long (Auburn, N.Y./Auburn H.S.).
 
Aquinas responded with four straight goals to take the lead for good, but Katie Cerveny (Erie, Mich./Mason Senior H.S.) added a goal before halftime as Lourdes was within three, 6-3, at the break.
 
The Saints scored the first three goals of the second half before Fisher and Long each tallied their second goals of the game, but Aquinas kept the Gray Wolves off of the scoreboard for the final 17:53 while adding six more tallies.
 
"We were able to play competitive in the first half," head coach Paul Sieben said afterwards.  "However, Aquinas had a strong, balanced attack and midfield which was too much for us to contain in the second half."
 
Aquinas (6-8, 3-5 WHAC) outshot Lourdes 32-14 for the night, with Alexandra Burns scoring a game-high four goals for the Saints.
 
The Saints also had a 31-20 edge in ground balls in the contest, with Fisher and Lolo Garza (Sylvania, Ohio/Southview H.S.) leading the way for Lourdes with three each.  Haley Brown (Temperance, Mich./Bedford H.S.) won three draw controls for the Gray Wolves.
 
Kiley Ketteman (Cincinnati, Ohio/Anderson H.S.) made seven saves for Lourdes in goal.
 
Lourdes (3-10, 0-10) will close out its 2015 season on Sunday afternoon as the Gray Wolves take on Franciscan.  The opening draw is set for 1 p.m. at Memorial Field in Steubenville, Ohio.
