The Trojans will await the results of tonight's matches around the league to determine who the opponent will be in Saturday's CCAC Tournament quarterfinal, set for 1:30 p.m. at Schartner Field, as part of TIU Athletics' "Blue & White Weekend." Trinity will host either Cardinal Stritch, St. Xavier, or Purdue-Calumet as the team prepares to defend their conference tournament title from a year ago.

In the opening minutes on Tuesday, it looked as though the team's six-match win streak would be in jeopardy, as the home side scored the match's first goal. HCC's Maria Carillo Benavides put away the rebound on a teammate's shot, giving the Saints a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute.

Reigning CCAC & NCCAA Player of the Week Morgan Elzinga quickly found the equalizer, tying the match at 1-1 in the 15th minute, putting away the cross from sophomore Layla Zahnizer.

Zahnizer then set up the go-ahead goal in the 24th minute, passing to Yasatan in the box who found the back of the net for her school-record 28th goal of the season. The goal is also Yasatan's fourth game-winner of the year.

After setting up the first two goals, Zahnizer put away a score of her own, helping the Trojans to a 3-1 halftime lead with her third goal of the year in the 29th minute. The Trojans managed to outshoot the Saints by a 13-5 margin in the first half, eventually finishing with 19 shots on the day compared to Holy Cross' eight.

In the 76th minute, junior Taylor Richards drew a foul inside the box, giving TIU a chance to extend their lead with the PK. Kelsey Gill stepped up and slotted the ball past the keeper for her  11th win of the year. Yasatan finished with a match-high nine shots and four shots on goal, while Melissa Loretto put up four shots in the win.

The second-place finish in the CCAC regular season marks the best result for Trinity International since the 2008 campaign, when the Trojans went 7-1-1 in league play to finish second. That season, TIU reached the CCAC Tournament final before falling in extra time to St. Xavier, then went on to place 4th at the NCCAA National Tournament.
