Trinity took that lead into the locker room at halftime.
The Tigers rattled off seven straight points to open the second half and go up 35-23 for their largest lead of the game. BSC would come back down the stretch to cut it to four, twice, but the Tigers nailed seven free throws in the last 1:23 (while BSC hit one free throw) to clinch the 10-point victory.
