The Foresters trailed by eight (20-12) again before using a 16-3 run to go ahead by five (28-23) with five minutes left in the first half. The lead changed hands five more times before the half ended with Grinnell ahead 38-37.

Lake Forest was behind by six (45-39) early in the second period before outscoring the home team 22-1 over the next eight minutes to take the lead and put the game out of reach. The margin never dipped below a dozen points the rest of the way and reached as high as 19 before the game ended.

The Foresters will be back on the road Tuesday (February 18) at Knox College (5-15, 2-12 MWC) for a 5:30 p.m. game.
