No. 15 Taylor Pulls Away from Lourdes in Second Half

Lourdes was within six points of 15th-ranked Taylor at halftime on Tuesday evening, but the Trojans used a large second half run to defeat Lourdes 86-40 inside of Odle Arena in Upland, Ind.
 
Trailing 24-9 after the opening 10 minutes, Lourdes cut into its deficit in the second period.  A three-pointer by Baylee Baldwin (Ottawa Lake, Mich./Whiteford H.S.) to end the first quarter started an 8-0 Gray Wolf spurt that pulled the visitors within 10 just three minutes into the second following an Addie Conroy (Cleveland, Ohio/Padua Franciscan H.S.) jumper.
 
The Trojans pushed the lead back to 16, 32-16, midway through the second quarter before Lourdes went on an 11-0 run.  Three-pointers by Mirandia Green (Toledo, Ohio/Whitmer H.S.), Erica Cary (Central City, Ky./Muhlenberg County H.S.), and Baldwin started the spurt, which helped the Gray Wolves pull within six, 38-32, at the half.
 
After Taylor (6-0) scored the first five points of the third period, Green scored to make it a nine-point game before the Trojans broke the game open.  Taylor scored the final 20 points of the third and the first 10 points of the fourth quarter to take control.
 
Lourdes went more than 16 minutes without a field goal before Green connected late, accounting for both Lourdes baskets from the floor in the second half.
 
Green finished the game with 14 points, the most by any Gray Wolf in a game this season, while Baldwin added 11 points, all in the first half.  Lourdes finished the game shooting 25% from the floor, including just 2-of-22 in the second half.
 
Becca Buchs led Taylor with 24 points, including six three-pointers, as the Trojans finished the game with 20 triples as a team, shooting 52.6% from beyond the arc.  Abby Buchs added 15 points and Meredith Deckard had 14 more for the Trojans.
 
Lourdes (1-5) will conclude its three-game road trip on Saturday afternoon, as the Gray Wolves open Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference play in Fort Wayne, Ind.  Tip-off against fourth-ranked Indiana Tech is set for 1 p.m. inside the Schaefer Center.
