Baskets by Jill Schneider and Sarah MacKay opened the second half and staked the Old Gold to a 29-21 advantage. Mollie Fitzgerald cut the margin back to six, but the Tigers scored six straight to push the lead to 12 and it never went back to single digits.

MacKay led the Tigers with 17 including 13 in the second half. Lindsey Rush added 15 and Schneider hauled down eight rebounds as the Tigers held a 38-36 advantage on the boards. DePauw shot nearly 55 percent in the second half and held Trinity to just 31 percent for the game.
