Emma Pedroza (Napoleon, Ohio/Napoleon H.S.) led Lourdes with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting while Tamyah Worthy (Toledo, Ohio/Start H.S.) added 10 points, scoring in double figures for the first time in her collegiate career.
 
The Saints started quickly, holding Lourdes scoreless for nearly seven minutes while building a 12-0 lead.  When the Gray Wolves broke through on the scoreboard, they went on an 11-4 run to pull within five late in the opening stanza.  Siena Heights responded to open the second, and slowly increased its lead, building a 36-22 advantage at the break.
