Playing its four NAIA top-seven opponent in the last seven games, Lourdes dropped an 11-8 decision to seventh-ranked Siena Heights on Wednesday evening at O'Laughlin Stadium in Adrian, Mich.
 
The Gray Wolves hung close to the Saints early.  Three goals in a five-minute span by Nick Johnson (Perrysburg, Ohio/Perrysburg H.S.), Ben Reidy (Saskatoon, Sask./Bishop James Mahoney H.S.), and Brock Meomartino (Cumberland, R.I./Cumberland H.S.) put Lourdes in front 3-1 midway through the opening quarter.  Caden Louthan (Dripping Springs, Texas/Dripping Springs H.S.) and Meomartino added a pair of goals in the final 1:18 of the first period to give the Gray Wolves a 5-2 lead after 15 minutes.
 
Siena Heights (7-4, 5-2 WHAC) scored the only two goals of the second quarter as the Gray Wolves maintained a one-goal edge at intermission.
 
Xavier Dockery (Boston, Mass./Westerville North H.S.) tallied his second goal of the season early in the third quarter as Lourdes rebuilt a two-goal lead only to see the Saints score seven consecutive tallies to pull in front for good.  Meomartino and Louthan each added goals in the final 6:06 for the Gray Wolves for the final margin.
 
Siena Heights outshot Lourdes 44-23 for the night with Jack Bichsel (Westerville, Ohio/North H.S.) making 10 saves for the Gray Wolves in the cage.  Hayden Barber (Temperance, Mich./Bedford H.S.) picked up five of the team's 18 ground balls.
 
Lourdes (6-6, 1-5) will close on the 2023 season on Saturday evening as the Gray Wolves host Lawrence Tech.  The opening faceoff is set for 7 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium with Senior Day activities taking place prior to the game.
