Lourdes saw the winningest season in women's lacrosse history come to a close on Saturday afternoon, as the Gray Wolves suffered a 19-7 loss to third-ranked Lawrence Tech at the LTU Athletic Field in Southfield, Mich.
 
"This wasn't the end to the season that we had hoped for, but I am so proud of the progress we have made as a team this season, head coach Alyssa Shaver said after the game.  "I am very thankful for all of the hard work the seniors put in this year.  They were key to helping us improve."
 
After the Blue Devils scored in the game's first minute, Ashley Hunt (Cape May, N.J./Lower Cape May H.S.) evened the score 3:33 into the contest.  Lawrence Tech then broke the game open, scoring seven times in the next 10 minutes to pull in front 8-1.
