The Trojans trailed by 8 points at the end of the third quarter, but managed to close the deficit in the fourth, outscoring the Lancers 19-10.

Bryce Church knocked down 3 three-pointers and scored 15 points in the win.

Chris MacMackin led LaFayette with 23 points in the loss, while Jordyn Marchiano matched his season-high with 16 points.
