After making a few adjustments at the half, the Lady Trojans came out in the third quarter and changed the outlook on the game. TC outscored WA 17-0 which provided a comfortable lead heading into the fourth quarter. In the 4th, better basketball has been played and thanks to the 3rd quarter dominance the Lady Trojans took home the win.

Lady Trojans continue their winning ways

With the last game before the Christmas break, the Lady Trojans from Timothy Christian came out determined to keep their win streak alive. In playing Riverside-Brookfield, TC knew that they were going to have to play a good game in order to beat the Bulldogs. After an initial slow start at the beginning of the game, TC finished with the first quarter much better by taking a 14-8 advantage. With some nice ball movement and finishing touches around the rim the Lady Trojans took a 14 point lead into the half, 28-14. R-B responded with a little run themselves and cut the lead down to six at one point, but a couple of buckets by the Lady Trojans righted the ship and they were able to get the win, 45-35. Tessa Bosman led the way this evening by scoring 12 points, followed by Cassidy Block (9 points, 11 rebounds, 5 steals, 3 assists) Jordyn Platt (6 points, 5 assists, 2 steals, 5 rebounds) Anna Wondergem (6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals) Kari LeGrand (5 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) Stephanie Kuiper (5 points, 3 rebounds) and Jessica Dirkse (2 points, 1 big block). The Lady Trojans are off for a while with their next game not until Dec. 27 at the Lisle Tournament.

TC held a 20-10 advantage at halftime and pretty much kept a comfortable lead for the rest of the game. Everyone was able to see some action today and contribute in many different ways. Cassidy Block nearly had a triple double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 8 steals. Jordyn Platt also had a nice balanced game with 4 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals.
