SEGUIN, Texas -- The Trinity Women's Basketball Team opened a 43-21 lead by the half and registered a 78-52 win Friday night over the Texas Lutheran Bulldogs.
With the victory in TLU's Memorial Gymnasium, Trinity improved to 3-2 overall and to 3-2 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Bulldogs fell to 2-1 overall and to 2-1 in the SCAC.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was the first home contest for any TLU sport since March 14, 2020 when TLU hosted a softball doubleheader with Trinity. The TLU basketball teams opened their seasons two weeks ago with road games at Centenary College (La.).
Trinity opened Friday's game by shooting 69.2 percent in the first quarter. The Tigers concluded the first half with a shooting percentage of 61.5.
TLU went 8-for-23 and 0-for-4 from the three-point line in the first half.
Trinity led for all but six seconds in the game.
Emily Daniel led a balanced Trinity scoring night. The senior guard hit six of her seven shots and scored 13 points.
Ashlyn Milton and Jordan Rudd each scored 12 for the Tigers.
Abby Hroch, TLU's senior post, scored 14 and pulled down four rebounds. Tanyse Moehrig was the only other Bulldog in double-figures. She scored and pulled down eight rebounds.
The two teams meet again for a conference contest Saturday in TLU's Memorial Gymnasium. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m.
