six games below .500, were paced by Jamar Lawrence who scored 19 points and grabbed 
15 rebounds. Capuchino, which was seeded eighth, led 20-19 at halftime but could not keep

FINAL:
Bellarmine def. St. Ignatius, 59-48 (March 5 at San Jose State)
The Bells exacted some revenge while defeating the No. 1 ranked team in the state. St. Ignatius had not only beaten Bellarmine in the 1998 finals, but turned them back three times during the regular season. Forward Jeb Ivey was the difference, riddling the zone defense for 21 points and almost single-handedly stopping St. Ignatius’ offense by pushing star Luke Whitehead outside his comfort shooting zone. The game was close until late in the third quarter when Bellarmine went on a 7-0 run.

Marcell Harris, who scored 18 points, grabbed six rebounds and assisted on five other baskets, took the heart out of the Lancers in the third quarter when he rebounded a missed St. Francis free throw attempt and drove the length of the floor to give the Vikings a 19-point edge. North Salinas’ pressure frustrated the Lancers so much that the latter used their final time out in the third quarter.

The game was decided in the early minutes of the third quarter when the Crusaders went on an 8-0 run after being down 24-23. Every time San Mateo would cut the deficit, Riordan surged ahead again.
