Woods reached the 20-point mark for the second straight game and the tenth time this season, going 6-for-19 from the field. Junior forward Marlou Peters also finished in double figures, with 12 points on 6-of-11 shooting.

After Peters gave Trinity a lead on the opening bucket, Stritch responded with ten straight points to move in front, and build a lead they would hold the rest of the day. Woods would score all nine remaining points for TIU in the first period, but the Trojans would trail 22-11 and the end of the opening quarter.

Trinity won the fourth quarter, outscoring Stritch 14-10 in the final minutes, with Rayelle Ross picking up eight points over the final ten minutes. The deficit was too much to overcome however, despite the late run.
