The Trojans were never able to take a lead in the game, but kept the score close throughout the day; after Warner took an early lead in the first few minutes, Arielle Miree evened the score with a three-pointer at the 16:09 mark of the first half. Both sides struggled to put points on the board in a low-scoring opening sequence, as Daja' Johnson again tied the game at just 10-10 with 11:05 to play in the first, after the Royals edged in front.

After a pair of JaToya Woods free throws tied the game 12-12, Warner answered with an 11-1 run to move in front by double digits with just under five minutes to play until the halftime break. Trinity eventually ended the half with a nine-point deficit, going into the locker room behind 30-21.

Warner took their biggest lead of the day at the 15:41 mark of the second half, riding an 11-4 run after the break. Ramsey then scored five of the next seven points for TIU, closing the gap again to single digits, 43-34, with 11:09 to play.

Trinity would close the gap to six points on three different occasions, but couldn't get over the hump and even the score again. Woods finished the game in double figures, with 11 points; in her second game this season, the junior shot just 1-for-5 from the field, but worked to get to the free throw line, shooting 9-for-11 from the stripe. Ramsey also had a big day from the line, shooting 12-for-17 and setting new career highs in both made free throws, and free throw attempts.

The Trojans get right back at it Saturday afternoon, when they take on the host Embry-Riddle Eagles. Tipoff is set for 2:00 p.m. CST.
