The Gray Wolves were limited to just one hit in the opener by Marisa Loya, a lead-off single in the third by Taylor Tafelski (Perrysburg, Ohio/Perrysburg H.S.).  Loya walked just one other Lourdes hitter while earning the complete game shutout (11-3).
 
Aquinas scored four times in the opening inning and added two more in the second on a home run by Ann Hardin.  Three more runs by the Saints in the fourth extended the lead to 9-0.

Aquinas (33-10-1, 11-7 WHAC) cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second before two walks, a hit batter, and an error produced a pair of unearned in the third as Aquinas took the lead.
 
The Gray Wolves were unable to tie the game late, leaving runners on second and third in the seventh.
