Brian Bertola shot 5-for-11 from 3-point range on Monday.

Leading Lake Forest in scoring for the second straight game was senior guard Bryan Bertola (Green Bay, WI/Bay Port), who connected on 5 of 11 three-point attempts to account for all of his 15 points. Freshman guard/forward Eric McDonald (Elk Grove, IL/Elk Grove) chipped in nine points and junior Lee Taylor (Sheldon, IA/Sheldon) and Tim Andris (Port Washington, WI/Port Washington) each scored seven.
