Lourdes saw its school-record 11-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday afternoon, as the Gray Wolves suffered a 73-66 defeat to Rochester (Mich.) inside of Garth Pleasant Arena in Rochester Hills, Mich.
 
The Gray Wolves remain in first place in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference, one-half game ahead of Indiana Tech.
 
"We played okay today, but we need to be more aggressive to balls," head coach Dennis Hopson said afterwards.  "They were the tougher team today."
 
The Gray Wolves committed 14 turnovers on the day, leading to 15 Rochester points, while the Warriors committed just six miscues over the 40 minutes.  Lourdes shot 45.6% from the floor compared with Rochester's 41.9% clip.
 
A 15-4 run by Lourdes midway through the first half put the Gray Wolves on top 25-15 following a three-pointer by Mike Bruce (Ypsilanti, Mich./Ypsilanti H.S.) with 7:55 to play before halftime.  The Warriors responded with a 12-2 run of their own, pulling even at the 3:30 mark before Lourdes retook a 32-29 lead heading into the locker room.
 
Lourdes came out the second half and rebuilt a nine-point edge, 42-33, just over four minutes into the stanza following a free throw by Nick Welch (Temperance, Mich./Saint Mary Catholic Central H.S.).  Again the Warriors answered, this time with a 13-2 run to pull in front at the 12:12 mark.
 
The Gray Wolves answered, moving back on top 60-57 with just over five minutes to play after a three-pointer by Clif Snow (Middletown, Ohio/Middletown H.S.).  That would be Lourdes last lead, as Rochester scored the next eight points to pull in front for good.
 
A Bruce jumper with 1:30 to play made it 68-66, but the Gray Wolves were unable to score the rest of the way as Rochester made free throws down the stretch.
 
Snow led Lourdes with 20 points and eight rebounds while Welch added 13 points.  Bruce also tallied double figures with 12 points on the day.
 
Andrew Kline led Rochester (13-5, 6-3 WHAC) with 17 points while Armand Cartwright and Peter Agba added 16 points each.
 
Lourdes (14-4, 8-2) will look to return to the win column on Wednesday evening as the Gray Wolves travel to Southfield, Mich. to face Lawrence Tech.  Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. inside of Ridler Field House.
