Mater Dei 87, Miami Christian 55
After the first quarter Miami Christian led 20-17 over Mater Dei. Their star Carlos Morban had scored 13 first quarter points and a good game looked like it was about to break out. Then it happened.

Mater Dei went on to win the 2nd Qtr. 18-11 and went in to half-time with a 4 point lead.
