After trailing by only one point at the half, the team let the game get away from them in the second period for a 72-51 loss. The defeat brings the Trolls to a 17-13 overall record.

Over the next several minutes Judson slowly built a lead and went ahead by eight points. The Trolls were not going to let them get away and by the intermission had narrowed the gap to just one point, 35-34. 

Two minutes into the second half the score was tied 40-40. Judson then went on a 9-0 run to pull ahead. With 7:38 to play the Trolls had moved to within five points, 55-50. However the only point they put on the board for the rest of the game was one free throw. Meanwhile Judson continued to extend their lead and march to the victory. 

For the game the Trolls were led in scoring by Jess Eenigenburg with 23 points, including 4 for 5 from the arc. Barbie Heerdt had 14 points and Alissa Barr added 8. Sarah Lerner and Kim Van Drunen each grabbed 6 rebounds.
