Fifty percent shooting from the Mustangs in the second quarter resulted in a four-point lead at the half. Neither team showed any signs of slowing down coming out of the break, combining to shoot 15-for-25 in the third quarter. Homewood-Flossmoor really turned on the pressure in the fourth quarter, outshooting Saint Rita just enough to take a late lead.
