Lourdes struggled shooting the ball and Lawrence Tech forced numerous Gray Wolf turnovers as the Blue Devils notched a 56-42 victory on Saturday afternoon inside the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center.
 
The Gray Wolves were limited to just 32.7% shooting from the floor, including 26.7% (4-of-15) from three-point range and committed 28 turnovers on the afternoon.  Lourdes also made just 4-of-9 (44.4%) free throws.
 
Lourdes led 11-9 midway through the opening quarter before being held without a field goal for more than four minutes as Lawrence Tech scored the next seven points to take the lead for good.  The Gray Wolves managed just two baskets in the second quarter as both teams slowed offensively.  Neither team scored for more than four minutes during one stretch with the Blue Devils taking a 28-20 advantage into the locker room.
 
The Gray Wolves again had just two field goals in the third period, falling behind by 16 heading into the fourth.  Back-to-back triples by Winter Richburg (Toledo, Ohio/Rogers H.S.) and Logan Ingram (Mount Pleasant, Mich./Mount Pleasant H.S.) cut the deficit to 10, 42-32, with seven minutes to play but Lawrence Tech responded with the next seven points to put the game out of reach.
