Lake Forest led 28-26 after a first half that featured five ties and as many lead changes. The largest lead for either team before halftime was four points. A 10-2 Forester run to open the second period gave the home team a 10-point lead (38-28) that was quickly down to four points after a 6-0 run by the Falcons. Concordia cut the lead to three points (48-45) with 5:48 to play before seven straight points helped the Foresters regain control of the game.
