Lisle broke the game open in the second stanza outscoring the Broncos 18-4. The Lions lost a heart-breaker, 64-57, to North Lawndale in game three of the tourney. The Phoenix overcame a 30-25 half-time deficit with a strong third quarter. The lead changed hands seven times in the fourth. Cherry led all scorers once again with 21 pts. Matt Schmitz and Josh McLeod contributed 11 pts. apiece. Joel Beckman cleared the glass with eight rebounds while teammate Greg Saul had seven boards. Lisle rebounded from the loss with a 70-51 thumping of Westmont in a sloppily played game as each team had twenty-three turnovers.
