The Trojans held a narrow lead over Calumet in the opening minutes, after Abbey Bernas' layup at the 14:11 mark gave TIU an 8-7 edge. Trinity would go cold from the field, however, going five minutes without recording a field goal, while the Crimson Wave answered with a 15-0 run to move in front, 22-8 midway through the first half.

CCSJ would hold a double-digit lead from that point throughout most of the first half, until a pair of layups from Woods helped pull TIU back to within six, 34-28, with 2:39 until the break. Calumet would stretch their lead back out, however, and take a 41-30 edge into the locker room.

Trinity would hang around in the second half, eventually pulling to within four points on Ramsey's layup with nine minutes to play. CCSJ's China Cordova connected on a three during the Wave's next possession, then a pair of free throws suddenly made it a nine-point game.

The Trojans would be held without a field goal over the final 3:21, as Calumet closed out the game. TIU out-rebounded their opponents 53-48, but a .299 shooting percentage (23-77) kept the Trojans from getting into rhythm on the offensive end.

TIU will now prepare for Saturday's road trip, where the Trojans will take on the Roosevelt Lakers in downtown Chicago. Tipoff from the Goodman Center is set for 1:00 p.m.
