🏀 GOING TO THE ‘SHIP

To earn a spot in the WNIT Championship game, the Troy women’s
hoops squad dialed up and connected from long distance.

In an offensive explosion, the Trojans knocked down 13 3-pointers in a
99-96 thriller at Illinois State on Wednesday night to set up the
WNIT Championship game in Buffalo on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm.

It’s tough to find someone playing better than Briana Peguero right now
as she posted a career-high for the second straight game, knocking down
six three-pointers en route to 28 points in the win.

For the fifth straight game, five Trojans finished in double-figures as
Fortuna Ngnawo continued her WNIT run with 16 points. Emani Jenkins
trailed Peguero by one triple as she scored all five of her buckets from deep for 15 points. Zay Dyer (13), Brianna Jackson (11) and Ashley Baez (10) also finished with 10-plus points en route to the Fab 4 victory.
