With 101 points, the Trojans set a new season high, and crack the century mark for the first time in almost five years (Feb. 20, 2010, at Judson). The Trojans knocked down a season-high 14 three-pointers to fuel the high-scoring attack, with sophomore Thomas Amrine matching his career high for the fourth time, hitting six threes in the win. Amrine finished with 22 points, for his second 20-point performance in his last three games.

TIU led the game from start to finish, after jumping out to a 5-0 lead on scores from Dillon Wadsack and James Glass. The Trojans took advantage of 13 first-half Pioneer turnovers and a 23-14 rebounding margin to build a 57-26 lead at the half. Amrine collected 14 points before the break with five Trojans scoring seven or more points in the first half.

Trinity earned their largest lead of the night in the final five minutes, when a pair of Salem free throws put TIU in front by 45, 92-47.

Glass nearly earned his first career double-double, recording 14 points and eight rebounds. Justin Peeples also finished in double figures in the win, picking up 11 points and going 3-for-4 from long range. Senior Paul Badgley had one of the stronger performances off the bench, with eight points, seven rebounds and six assists.

The Trojans are back in action Saturday afternoon, when they resume conference play and host the Holy Cross Saints. Tipoff from Van Dixhorn Arena is set for 3:00 p.m.
