Lourdes finished the home portion of its 2021-2022 schedule on Wednesday evening, cruising to a 38-7 victory over Rio Grande and a 50-5 triumph against Cornerstone on Senior Night inside the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center.
 
"This was two great team wins and an awesome way to send our seniors out on a winning note," head coach Dock Kelly III said afterwards.  "We will be forever indebted for their contributions to the Gray Wolf wrestling program.  Coach Piszker did an outstanding job preparing the team to battle tonight.  We will enjoy these two wins tonight and then we will begin preparation for this weekend."
 
After falling in the 125-pound match against Rio Grande (1-1), the Gray Wolves took the lead as Jimmy Balazy (Parma, Ohio/Padua Franciscan H.S.) and Nick Henneman (Oregon, Ohio/Clay H.S.) were awarded wins via forfeit.  The Red Storm followed with a major decision at 149 pounds to pull within 12-7, but that would be the final points the visitors would earn on the night.
 
Blake Montrie (Lambertville, Mich./Bedford H.S.) raced out to a 10-4 lead after the opening period on his was to a 13-5 major decision at 157 pounds.  Richard Jackson (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic H.S.) battled at 165, scoring late to earn an 8-7 decision before Noah Clary (Upper Sandusky, Ohio/Upper Sandusky H.S.) fought for a 5-2 win at 174.
 
Will Speight (Bedford, Ohio/Bedford H.S.) broke open his 184-pound contest in the second period on his was to a 22-8 major decision.  Carter Kroll (Ontario, Ohio/Ontario H.S.) and Alec Moore-Nash (Price Hill, Ohio/Elder H.S.) closed the contest with back-to-back pins.  Kroll needed just 35 seconds to earn his fall at 197 pounds while Moore-Nash needed just slightly longer, 1:16, to close out the victory.
 
Prior to the match, Noah Eikenbary (Kenton, Ohio/Kenton H.S.) competed in an extra contest, earning a 5-0 decision at 285 pounds.
 
In the nightcap against Cornerstone (0-2), the Gray Wolves again fell behind early as the Golden Eagles scored a technical fall early in the third period for their only bout victory of the match.
 
Balazy pulled the Gray Wolves within one with his 11-2 major decision before Dru Wilson (Warren, Mich./Wood-Tower H.S.) was credited with the forfeit win at 141 pounds, putting Lourdes in front for good.  Henneman bumped up to 149 for the contest and took an early 6-0 lead before scoring a fall just 1:31 into the contest.
 
Montrie followed suit, pushing the score to 12-3 before recording his pin at the 2:41 mark of the opening stanza.  Jackson tallied a pair of four-point near falls in the third period on his way to an 18-4 major decision at 165.
 
Drew Torres (Phoenix, Ariz./Tempe Union H.S.), Speight, and Kroll all were credited with forfeit victories before Moore-Nash capped the night with his second pin of the night.  This time his fall came at the 2:21 mark of the first period.
 
Lourdes (4-0) will return to the mat on Saturday afternoon, sending some grapplers to Berea, Ohio for the Baldwin Wallace Invitational.  Action begins at 10 a.m. inside Lou Higgins Center Fieldhouse.
