LIMA, Ohio - For the second time in as many days, the Windy City Groove had to make a fourth-quarter comeback to defeat the Lima Express in a close game down the stretch--the score Sunday afternoon ended with the Groove on top 101-100.

Windy City trailed by as many as 16 in the second quarter, and Lima took a 61-47 lead into the half.  But the third quarter was all Groove, as they outscored the hosts 35-13 in the period to take an 82-74 lead into the fourth quarter.

Lima regained the lead as the two teams battled down the stretch, but Windy City was able to pull back ahead late.  Lima needed a three-pointer to tie the game at 101, but were only able to score a two as time expired.

C.J. Hampton led Windy City with 16 points, while Dion Cooksey added 15.  Lima's Kyle Meyer led all scorers with 25.
