Summit hung on to beat Hanover Park, for the second time this year, to win the Suburban Classic Championship and remain undefeated. Over the first three quarters Summit steadily built their lead and entered the the final quarter with an 8 point advantage. Stephanie Bruce led the way with 15 points in 3 quarters. This happened inspite of the fact that HP's pressing defense caused Summit to turn the ball over repeated without getting the ball over the center line. At least 9 times they threw the ball away. This was particularly surprising because this defensive weapon has usually been employed by Summit. In fact Summit's defense was strangely passive. At the start of the 4th quarter HP ran off 8 unanswered points and suddenly the score was tied at 40 apiece. Summit regained its composure and built the lead back to 46-40. After an exchange of scores Summit remained on top with a 50-49 lead and about a minute to play. Odette Nemes went to the foul line and calmly sank 2 free throws to make it 52-49. HP failed to score and Danielle Proper was fouled. She sank the front end of a 1 and 1 to put the game out of reach at 53-49 with only seconds to play. Stephanie Bruce led all scorers with 17 points. Marissa Kellogg and Proper were both in double figures.
