Lourdes picked up its fourth consecutive victory on Thursday evening, defeating Cincinnati Christian 20-15, 25-17, 25-22, 25-18 inside of Presidents Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"We got off to a slow start and just couldn't quite find a rhythm, and our serving didn't help," head coach Greg Reitz said afterwards.  "We made some adjustments in the second set and were able to steady out our serving to earn the win.  We played some solid defense in order to extend some rallies which helped us ultimately earn the match win."

Matheus Andrade (Coronel Fabriciano, Brazil/Alberto Giovannini H.S.) led Lourdes with 16 kills and 13 digs while Evan Gebert (Fort Wayne, Ind./Snider H.S.) added 15 kills while hitting .438.  Ricardo Gehrke (Blumenau, Brazil/Escola Barao Do Rio Branco) had a double-double with 10 kills and 15 digs.  Eric Ubior (Guaynabo, P.R./Wesleyan Academy) tallied a match-high 30 digs.
 
As a team, Lourdes hit .280 and outdug the Eagles 76-49.
 
Phillip Andrews led Cincinnati Christian (6-5) with 15 kills and hit .419 while Logan Webber and Michael Hiroskey each tallied 12 digs.
 
Lourdes (6-4) returns to action on Friday evening to begin play at the Campbellsville Invitational.  The Gray Wolves will battle Robert Morris (Ill.) at 7 p.m. and Saint Andrews at 9 p.m. inside of Gosser Gymnasium in Campbellsville, Ky.
