Lourdes closed out the 2017-2018 season on Saturday afternoon celebrating Senior Day at the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center, but Rochester (Mich.) spoiled the festivities with an 82-62 victory over the Gray Wolves.
 
Prior to tip Lourdes honored Tatyana Reynolds (Toledo, Ohio/Rogers H.S.) and Sara Pribonic (Johnstown, Ohio/Northridge H.S.) for their service to the program over the course of their careers.
 
The Gray Wolves kept the game close throughout the first half.  Despite falling behind 12-3 in the game's first three minutes, Lourdes was able to utilize a 9-0 run to pull within two, 16-14, following a Jami Hardy (Perrysburg, Ohio/Cardinal Stritch H.S.) jumper with two minutes to play in the opening quarter.
 
Rochester led by three entering the second, and immediately pushed the lead to seven.  Again Lourdes clawed back, taking the lead on a pair of free throws by Daija Stafford (Louisville, Ky./Moore H.S.) before falling behind 33-32 at the break.
 
The Warriors scored the first 11 points of the second half, holding the Gray Wolves scoreless for more than four minutes while building a double figure advantage.  Lourdes was able to cut its deficit to nine, 55-46, a minute into the final period before a 10-1 run allowed Rochester to pull away. 
 
"We played a great first half but unfortunately committed too many defensive mishaps in the third quarter which allowed Rochester too many uncontested shots," head coach Summer Quesenberry said following the game.
 
Reynolds, playing in her final collegiate game, led Lourdes with 19 points while Jami Hardy added 10.  Sydney Miller (Huntsville, Ohio/Indian Lake H.S.) chipped in nine points and Kali Hardy (Perrysburg, Ohio/Cardinal Stritch H.S.) added eight more.
 
Lourdes shot just 28.9% from the floor while Rochester connected at a 50.8% clip for the afternoon.  The Warriors also held a 57-35 rebounding advantage.
 
Maddy Valko led five players in double figures for Rochester (17-11, 12-8 WHAC) with 18 points while Bethany McCord added 14 points and eight rebounds.
 
"Our season came to an end today, but I am proud of the foundation our team built this year and am very confident this team will find success next season," Quesenberry concluded.
 
Lourdes set a school record for victories in 2017-2018, finishing the year 10-18 overall and 4-16 in WHAC play.
