Tournament Notes:
Freshman Joe Julkowski was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player and Adam Plach was named to the All-Tournament team.
The Lakeland JV won the bronze division of the tournament placing them 17th.

Quote from Coach Schreiber:
"It has been a while since we could call ourselves tournament champions so this feels good. I am as happy for our JV squad winning the bronze as I am for winning the tournament with our Varsity. They got off to a bad start but then improved from there on out. Minnesota is a great team with some stars on the floor. It was a great Finals that Matt Martin put an exclamation point on by blasting match point through a triple block."
