McMurry had the edge in free throws, making 19 of 25 to Lake Forest's 14 of 21. The Foresters had a slight 43-42 edge in rebounds but committed 17 of the game's 31 turnovers.

McMurry led by as many as nine points in the first half but the Foresters closed out the period on a 14-4 run to take a 36-35 advantage into the locker room at halftime.

Lake Forest extended its lead to five points early in the second half and had a 59-55 after a Lockwood layup with 7:42 to play. McMurry, however, went on an 11-2 run to regain the lead and made five of six free throws down the stretch to hold off the Foresters.

Lake Forest will take on California Lutheran University tomorrow night evening at 6:00.
