Brookelyn Robertson led Trinity International in scoring for the fourth time this season, but the Trojans struggled to get rolling on the offensive end of the floor in a 70-55 road loss to the Judson Eagles on Wednesday night.
Box Score | Season Stats
The Trojans (6-17, 2-14 CCAC) took an early 8-5 lead on two straight scores from senior
Basha Ramsey midway through the first period. Judson (14-11, 10-6 CCAC) responded with 16 unanswered points to claim a 21-8 advantage at the 8:01 mark of the second period, and would lead the rest of the way. Trinity would score 13 points in the second quarter, but finished without a field goal, shooting 4-for-34 in the first half.
Trinity got back into rhythm in the third quarter, led by Robertson's five points which included one of her career-best two three-point field goals on the night.
The Trojans were unable to cut into the deficit however, as Judson would lead by as much as 21 points in the fourth quarter before a quick 8-0 run for TIU closed the gap.
Senior guard
Sarina Falvo and Ramsey each finished with ten points, while sophomore
Jendayi Campbell picked up a team-high six rebounds.
Arielle Miree and
Marlou Peters each recorded three steals to pace the Trojans.
Trinity returns home tomorrow night, when they host Maranatha Baptist (Wisc.) in a non-conference battle beginning at 7:00 p.m.
