Box Score DEERFIELD, Ill. - In a game that saw 8 lead changes the TIU Women's Basketball team came up just short of their second consecutive CCAC win, suffering a 57-46 loss to Indiana University - South Bend on Wednesday evening.

The opening frame saw the Trojans struggle finding their shot, shooting just 24% from the field. TIU would only connect on seven field goals, while going 0-12 from behind the arc. Though Trinity struggled getting points on the board, a strong half defensively held IUSB to just 30 points in the half, keeping them in the game going into the halftime break.

The Trojans would go 50% from the field in the second half, including knocking down a pair of triples. With 9:04 to go in the fourth quarter after trailing by as much as 14 the Trojans would cut the deficit to 6 after a pair of Kylee Daniels free throws, but that is as close as TIU would come. IUSB closed out the game with a few clutch buckets in the final moments and held on to defeat TIU 57-46.

The Trojans look to get back in the win column when they travel to the city to take on #4 St. Xavier at 1 PM.
