History [edit]
On January 16, 2008 Lourdes College announced that they would be called the Gray Wolves. An athletic identity was also revealed.[2][3] In July 2009 Roseanne Gill-Jacobson was named the first athletic director in Lourdes College history.[4] In August 2010 the first home game for any athletic team at Lourdes College was held. The women's volleyball team was victorious over Ohio State University at Marion.[5] On December 19, 2012 it was announced that Lourdes had added men's and women's lacrosse, as well as competitive cheer and dance as sports.[6]
School songs [edit]

Fight song[7]
We are the Gray Wolves; come hear us howl!
We strive for victory, we're on the prowl.
Out on the court or out in the field
Gray Wolves fight and never yield!
Gray Wolves are brave and Gray Wolves are bold!
Our loyalty will never grow old
Gray Wolves with fearless stride march
Forward with true Lourdes Pride
Fighting on for Victory!
