Elmhurst goes into the hangar this evening and comes away with a 66-57 win at the expense of their fellow DuPage songbirds. The Bluejays collected 15 and 8 from Vinnie Adjahoungbeta, 15 as well from Luke Smith, and 13 from Sebastian Blachut, while Aidyn Boone did the dirty work with 13 boards and four steals. James Bullock had a whale of a game in the losing cause for North Central with 20 points, 13 rebounds, and five blocks, and Alejandro Diaz chipped in a dozen points, but the offense just wasn't there for the Cardinals, who were an anemic 35% from the field and 17% (3-18) from downtown.

In an otherwise generally anemic season for NCC, the highlight of last evening's clash may well have been a halftime ceremony honoring the 2005-2006 Cardinal squad who won the very first CCIW Conference Tournament championship defeating IWU 51-49 in a game played at Augustana.
Among those present were Ray Vicario, Adam Teising, Dean Prince, Adam Krumtinger, Dan Walton, Anthony Simmons, Josh Corso, and assistant coach Nate Riley.
