The Knights would then extend their lead by 6 and then the Trojans would battle back. Two late 3 pt baskets by Danny Leach would pull the Trojans even once again.
The 4th quarter began with a 3 pt basket by Connor VanderBrug. The Trojans moved the ball very well in the 4th quarter and were able to increase their lead to 10 and maintain that lead for a 53-43 victory.
