Sophomore guard Breezy Shore played an outstanding game. Shore scored 12 points in the first half, finishing with 18 points for the game.

“We need to play a little bit better man to man, in zone defense and don’t let them get open shots on us. We had the opportunity to get better against a weaker opponent and we didn’t take that opportunity to get better, but there is a lot of things that we need to improve on, but a win is a win,” said Shore.

The largest lead the Trojans had over the Tritons was by 31 points. The final score was Trojans 67 and Tritons 40 points.

Women’s Basketball head coach Chet Hovde said, “we started off good, but then we slacked off. We weren’t executing, one pass and a shot and couple of times we should have taken the last shot in the quarter. Run the clock down. Little things like that make a difference.”
