The Lourdes men's basketball team had four athletes score in double figures as the Gray Wolves picked up a 93-76 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference victory over Siena Heights on Monday evening inside the Ebeid Recreation Center.
 
"At this point in the season every win is big," said head coach Josh Gibson following the victory. "I thought Saturday was a very tough and different game for us and I'm very proud of the way our guys responded tonight. We knew this was going to be a physical game and I liked our energy and execution, especially in the second half. Siena Heights is a very good team but we were able to get a big one tonight."
 
The opening 10 minutes of the contest proved to be a tight back-and-forth battle as Siena Heights held a slim 16-14 lead through ten minutes.
 
After the Saints (15-10, 11-6 WHAC) pushed the lead to 20-15, Clif Snow (Middletown, Ohio/Middletown) hit a pull-up three-pointer with 8:17 left in the first half to spark a 15-3 Gray Wolf run, forcing a Siena Heights timeout with 5:43 left in the first half.
 
Snow connected on five straight three-pointers during the Lourdes run.
 
Tyler Kegley (Mount Gilead, Ohio/Northmor) found a wide open Snow late in the first half, as Snow buried his sixth three-pointer of the half to push the Gray Wolf lead to 40-31 with 50 seconds left in the half.
 
The Saints hit one of two free throws with under a second on the clock to pull within 40-32 at the intermission.
 
After Siena Heights scored the opening bucket of the second half, Lourdes went on a quick 7-0 spurt capped by a three-pointer from Bryce McComb (Swanton, Ohio/Swanton) to force a Siena Heights timeout, pushing the Gray Wolf lead to 47-34 with 17:35 left in the contest.
 
Lourdes continued to shine offensively early in the second half, pushing their lead to 60-45 with 13:54 left in the contest following an and-one from Kadeim Jones (Dayton, Ohio/Marshall).
 
After Siena Heights scored seven straight points, Snow corralled an offensive board and scored with
10:54 left in the game to push the lead to 62-52 and force another visitor timeout. Siena Heights would slowly cut into the Gray Wolf lead, getting within 70-63 before calling a timeout with 5:31 left in the contest.
 
Lourdes regained control of the contest from there, using a 7-0 run capped by a McComb three-pointer to push their lead to 77-65 with 4:16 left in the contest.
 
The Gray Wolves didn't allow the Saints to get any closer as they went on to claim the 93-76 victory.
