A three-point attempt at the buzzer by Lourdes missed its mark on Saturday night as the Gray Wolves suffered a 66-64 setback on the road against Siena Heights at the SHU Fieldhouse.
 
Zach Steinmetz (Toledo, Ohio/Saint John's H.S.) poured in a game-high 27 points, the most by a Gray Wolf this season, making 11-of-16 shots from the floor, including all four of his three-point attempts.  He also pulled down a team-high eight rebounds.
 
Lourdes trailed 29-26 at the break and saw the Saints push the lead to 12, 46-34, just eight minutes into the second half.  The Gray Wolves still trailed by nine, 52-43, with 6:37 to play before Steinmetz scored eight straight points, including two triples, in less than a minute to pull Lourdes to within one.
 
A 7-1 run by Siena Heights pushed the hosts lead back to seven, and the Saints still had a five-point advantage with 31 seconds to play.  Steinmetz hit back-to-back three-pointers sandwiched around a pair of free throws by Tony Jackson, allowing Lourdes to pull within one, 65-64, with 11 seconds to play.  George Goodman split a pair of free throws with nine seconds left, allowing the Gray Wolves a chance to win or tie, but Darrionate Stewart's (Cleveland, Ohio/Rhodes H.S.) triple try from the top of the circle hit the back iron.
 
Siena Heights jumped out to a 10-4 lead in the first half, and led by as many as nine before the Gray Wolves scored the final six points over two minutes in the first half to pull within three.
 
Julian Johnson (Columbus, Ohio/Horizon H.S.) added 10 points and had seven assists without a turnover for Lourdes while Hamish Abbott (Melbourne, Australia/Rowville Secondary H.S.) added 10 points.  Lourdes shot 47.3% from the floor on the night, including a 57.7% in the second half, but connected on just 8-of-12 (66.7%) free throws.
 
Goodman led Siena Heights (7-12, 3-8 WHAC) with 19 points and eight assists while Alec Myers came off of the bench to score 15 points for the Saints.  Jerrell Martin also finished in double figures, tallying 10 points.  Siena Heights shot 46.3% from the floor for the game, but connected on 11-of-14 (78.6%) from the free throw line.
 
Lourdes (8-9, 3-7) will return home to Tam-o-Shanter on Wednesday evening to host Marygrove.  Tip-off to begin a three-game homestand is set for 8 p.m.
