With Holy Name doubling down inside on Central center Colin Naugle, Rossignoli stepped up, knocking down 7-of-12 shots.

Matt Ashcroft sparked the Cards in the first half with three 3-pointers and 13 of his 17 points.

The Blue Jays battled back from an 11-point deficit early in the third quarter and were within three points of the lead with four minutes remaining. Casey Casantini had seven of his 12 points in the fourth quarter to keep the Jays close.
