Final Results
Lourdes returned to dual meet competition on Wednesday evening, but suffered a 52-0 loss to Ashland inside of Kates Gymnasium in Ashland, Ohio.

"Unfortunately we ran into a well-oiled machine tonight," head coach
Dock Kelly III said afterwards. "Ashland is a top-15 NCAA Division II program, and they certainly showed us why tonight. Although the scoreboard won't reflect it, several of our guys fought hard for seven minutes."

"We'll continue to build off of the positives and we will be ready for our regional opponent Davenport next week," Kelly concluded.
Â
Lourdes (1-8) will return to the mats on Tuesday evening with a trip to Grand Rapids, Mich. to face Davenport. The opening bout is set for 7 p.m. at the DU Student Center.
