Mordini proved to be a steady two-way leader for the Scouts, doing just about everything he could to keep Lake Forest competitive against Deerfield. He set the tone early by stepping in to take a big charge in the first quarter, then found his rhythm offensively in the second with back-to-back threes.

His ability to knock down shots from both three-point range and the mid-range stood out, along with his aggressiveness attacking downhill. Mordini showed comfort finishing with either hand and paired that with solid half-court vision, delivering timely passes to teammates.

On the defensive end, his length and instincts consistently showed up. He chopped his feet on closeouts with a high hand and used anticipation and lateral quickness to shut down perimeter drives. Mordini finished with 19 points while providing all-around playmaking on both ends.

Mordini struggled to find his shooting rhythm in both matchups against Loyola and New Trier, but he still managed to impact the game in meaningful ways. The 6’4″ guard handled on-ball duties and showed he can effectively steer the Scouts’ offense. He shared the ball with purpose, delivering timely passes and keeping the floor spaced. Off the bounce, he used his frame well—slipping by inattentive defenders to create advantageous halfcourt angles. Defensively, his instincts stood out: disciplined closeouts, lateral mobility, active hands in passing lanes, and the strength to hold his ground. Add in his activity on the glass, and he provided well-rounded value even on an off shooting nights.
