Fidler Surpasses 1,000 Points in Season-Ending Loss at Siena Heights

Jesse Fidler (Archbold, Ohio/Archbold H.S.) scored a game-high 28 points in just 25 minutes of action, surpassing the 1,000-point plateau for her career on Saturday, but Lourdes saw its season come to a close with a 96-72 loss at 25th-ranked Siena Heights at the SHU Fieldhouse in Adrian, Mich.
 
Fidler finishes her junior season with 1,001 points through her first three seasons, reaching the plateau on two free throws with six seconds remaining.
 
Three other Gray Wolves finished the game in double figures, as Daja Whiteside (Auburn Hills, Mich./Avondale H.S.) closed her career with 12 points while Molea Thompson (Mansfield, Ohio/Madison H.S.) and Kalena Harris (Toledo, Ohio/Maumee H.S.) each added 10 points.
 
Lourdes (7-23, 5-17 WHAC) scored the game's first four points, but that would be the only advantage of the night for the Gray Wolves.  A 12-0 run by the Saints put the hosts in front for good, 15-7, and Siena Heights would maintain the eight point advantage into the second quarter.
 
The Gray Wolves were able to pull within four, 23-19, three minutes into the second, but another run by Siena Heights, this one 13 unanswered points, helped push the Saints lead to 19 before setting for a 40-23 advantage at the break.
 
The Saints lead was at least 14 the entire second half as Lourdes was unable to make a comeback attempt.
 
Siena Heights created a 54-34 advantage on the glass, and turned 23 offensive rebounds into 21 second chance points.  The Saints also held the Gray Wolves to just 32.4% shooting for the night.
 
"Rebounds were the difference in our game tonight," head coach Summer Quesenberry said afterwards.  "Their second chance opportunities were too frequent and that created a deficit that added up quickly and deeply."
 
April Watson led Siena Heights (22-8, 15-7) with 22 points and 20 rebounds while Jaaliyah Arrington added 21 points.  Sharmaine Wills also had a double-double for the Saints with 11 points and 13 boards.
 
In addition to Whiteside, Mariah DuPree (Ottawa Lake, Mich./Whiteford H.S.) also saw her career come to a close for the Gray Wolves.
