Trinity Women Remain Unbeaten in SCAC Play

Conway, Arkansas - Trinity's women's basketball team remained the lone unbeaten team in the SCAC West Division with an 80-61 win over Hendrix College on Friday night.

Trinity (8-2, 3-0) trailed 31-37 at the half, after Hendrix went on an 8-0 run late in the period.  Hendrix shot better than 50% from the field in the first half, while Trinity hit just 12-32 (37.5%) of its shots.  The second half was a much different story for both teams, though, as the Tigers hit a blistering 20-29 (69%) shots in the final 20 minutes.  Hendrix was held to just 31% shooting in the second half. 

Krista Prato Matthews turned in another dominating performance, posting her fifth double-double of the season with 23 points and 11 rebounds.  She hit 10-17 from the floor and blocked five shots defensively.

Meghan Scholbe also scored 20 points for Trinity, hitting 7-11 from the field and 6-6 from the free throw line.  Scholbe also had seven rebounds and four steals for the Tigers.

Danielle Hubenak narrowly missed a double-double of her own, hitting 5-7 from the field for 11 points, and handing out a team season-high eight assists. 

Wyvonne Hawkins hit 7-13 from the field for Hendrix, finishing with a team-high 19 points for the home team.  Samantha Clark and Christina Byler added 11 points each for Hendrix, as did Chelsey White.  Lindsay Merritt added a team-best 10 boards off the bench.

Trinity will face Millsaps College tomorrow night in Jackson, Mississippi.  Millsaps fell 42-64 to Southwestern at home tonight.
