Lourdes began its three-match road trip on Wednesday evening, dropping a 25-15, 25-21, 25-15 decision to 22^nd-ranked Indiana Tech inside the Schaefer Center in Fort Wayne, Ind.
 
"Once again we did some good things, but not enough to disrupt the offense of a good team," head coach Greg Reitz said afterwards.  "We need to do a better job of taking care of the little things to give ourselves a chance."
 
Indiana Tech (16-2, 6-0 WHAC) hit .371 for the match and outdug the Gray Wolves 62-40 while limiting Lourdes to just a .134 attacking night. 
 
The opening set was tied at seven when the Warriors scored the next six points and used another 7-0 run to claim the stanza.  Set two saw Indiana Tech put down 18 kills and hit .457, jumping out to a quick 6-2 lead and not looking back.  In the third, Lourdes led eight three when the hosts scored 12 of the next 14 points to take control and close out the match.
