All eight of Davenport’s eight points came in the second half, including six in the third. Tatyana Siler finished with six points while Nala Baker and Whittaka Lowery each had two.
The Trojans allowed Hazel Green’s Marissa Snodgrass hit five three pointers, which accounted for all 15 of her points. Brooke Hampel led all scorers with 18 points.
After going into the half trailing 20-12, the Trojans were outscored in the second half 21-14.
The Trojans will be back in action on December 27 when they take part in the Naples Tournament.
