Trojans lose to Nazareth in Overtime

Despite a heavy snowfall Tuesday night, the Trojans still battled Nazareth Academy and lost a home contest 53-48 in overtime. Nazareth controlled much of the tempo and the Trojans battled back from a 19-9 deficit in the 2nd quarter to take the lead in the 4th quarter 42-34. Nazareth answered with a 3 pointer and the Trojans were not able to hold the lead. With the score tied at 43-43 at the end of regulation, the Trojans had a chance for the win but the shot was slightly off the mark as it went in and out of the rim and the team headed to overtime. After scoring first in the overtime and Timothy unable to convert on the offensive end, Nazareth was able to hit 7 of 8 free throws down the stretch for the victory. This was a tough loss for the Trojans, but hopefully we can learn and benefit from the lessons learned in this game. The Trojans begin the Glenbard West Christmas tournament Saturday Dec. 20 at 4:30 vs. Wheaton St. Francis. Please come out and support the Trojans!
