"I am proud of the fight this team showed to never give up this season," head coach Tandy Bradford said afterwards.  "It showed in how we were able to come back and win the fourth and outrebound Cornerstone.  We will continue to grow in the offseason and build to be a program that competes for four quarters every game."

The Gray Wolves trailed by 19, 71-52, early in the fourth before a 9-0 run pulled them within 10 with five minutes to play.  Lourdes was unable to cut the deficit to single digits down the stretch though.
