After leading by five, 17-12, after the opening period, Lourdes extended its lead to nine in the first minute of the second.  The Lakers responded with eight unanswered to close within one with 6:30 to play before halftime, but was never able to pull even or take the lead.  A 9-2 Gray Wolf run followed as Lourdes extended its lead to nine, 37-28, at the break.
 
After shooting just 30% from the floor in the first half, Lourdes exploded offensively in the third, tallying 45 points while making 18-of-24 shots (75%) from the field, including 5-of-9 (55.6%) from three-point range.  The Gray Wolves outscored Wright State-Lake 45-13 in the period to seize control of the game.
