Drop Heartbreaker to Union

Box Score JACKSON, Tenn. - Trevecca (12-16, 6-8) returned to action on Tuesday when they traveled to Jackson, Tenn. to take on the NAIA No. 7 Union Bulldogs (23-5, 12-2 TranSouth), dropping a heartbreaker 78-75.  

Trevecca's Brian Oduor dominated the first half of play, hitting seven of the nine shots he took en route to leading all scored with 15 points at the break. Trevecca used the momentum created by Oduor to take a 37-30 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the second half, Jeremy Dixon ignited the Trojans offense, scoring 11 straight points including three consecutive three point baskets to stretch the Trojans lead to 18, their largest advantage of the night. Over the closing minutes of the game however, Union whittled away, reclaiming the lead with 4:00 to go. Trevecca would close to within one at 76-75, but that was as close as they would get. Union sealed the game with a pair of free throws and Michael France's game tying three-point attempt fell off to the side as the Bulldogs held on to win 78-75.

 

Oduor led the Trojans with 21 points, and he was joined in double digits by Dixon (14), France (13), and Christopher Harris (12). France recorded a double-double in the game, grabbing 10 rebounds, while Dixon and De'Jon Everson each dished out four assists. As a team, the Trojans shot 30-of-51 (58.8%) from the floor, 13-of-22 (59.1%) from long range, and 2-of-6 (33.3%) from the foul line.

 

The Trojans return home for Senior Night on Thursday night when the Mid-Continent Cougars (14-13, 9-5 TranSouth) come to Nashville. Tip-off is slated for 8:00.
