Trevecca coach Gary Van Atta said, "We struggled in the post and picked up some foul trouble and that really cost us in the second half. They are a good team and they came out and decided to put some hands on us and we didn't respond very well there in the second half."

Van Atta continued, "I hope we get a great crowd on Thursday (Feb. 23) when we have Senior Night for Chelsey and Elizabeth. It will be our final home game and final TranSouth conference game at the Trojan Fieldhouse. I'd like to see the gym packed as we send out the seniors and say good bye to the TranSouth and NAIA. It will be a special night, looking forward to seeing those Moore Maniacs one more time."
