Clif Snow (Middletown, Ohio/Middletown) netted a career-best 31 points, but the Lourdes men's basketball team fell to No. 16-ranked Indiana Tech 79-76 in a competitive battle inside the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center on Wednesday evening.
 
The two teams got off to a blistering start as they combined for an 11-for-12 start from the floor, sinking eight consecutive shots to begin the contest.
 
Kadeim Jones (Dayton, Ohio/Marshall) capitalized on an and-one with 15:28 left in the first half to help Lourdes climb within 15-14.
 
A back-and-forth half saw the Gray Wolves grab their first lead of the contest at 24-22 as Snow nailed one of his five three-pointers with 10:04 remaining in the first half. From there, the two teams would exchange leads for the remainder of the half before Indiana Tech (7-4, 4-0 WHAC) took a 41-37 edge into the break.
 
Holding a 64-50 advantage with 11:41 remaining in the game, Indiana Tech saw its largest lead of the game shrink to 66-60 following a 10-2 run capped off by another three-pointer from Snow.
 
Lourdes slowly clawed its way back into the contest and pulled even at 71-71 with 4:47 remaining in the contest as Brett Lauf (Napoleon, Ohio/Napoleon) capitalized on a steal and assist from Desmond Frazier (Ocala, Fla./Dunnellon).
 
After Indiana Tech regained the lead at 76-71, a pair of free throws from Frazier and a pull up three-pointer from Jones evened things right back up at 76-all with just over two minutes to play. A free throw and a layup with 6.5 seconds left on the clock proved to be the game-winning points for the Warriors as a desperation three-pointer from Frazier fell short at the buzzer.
 
Snow's 31 points led the way for both offenses, while Jones and Lauf matched each other with 10 points each. Tyler Kegley (Mount Gilead, Ohio/Northmor) pulled down a team-high nine rebounds for the Gray Wolves. Snow has now scored double-digit points for the seventh consecutive game and in nine of the teams 10 games.
 
Logan Primerano led the Indiana Tech offense with 22 points.
 
Lourdes finished the contest 29-of-61 (47.5%) from the field, including 11-of-30 (36.7%), while Indiana Tech was 31-of-54 (57.4%) from the field and 10-of-19 (52.6%) from three-point range.
 
The Gray Wolves edged the Warriors 31-26 on the boards.
 
Lourdes (6-4, 0-3) returns to action and take to the road on Saturday as they travel to Grand Rapids, Mich. and meet Cornerstone for a 3 p.m. tipoff.
