Palos Heights, Ill. - Trinity Christian College women's basketball (12-8, 7-7 CCAC) only played inside DeVos Gymnasium twice in January. Some home cooking is exactly what the Trolls needed Saturday afternoon. A 95-88 victory over Roosevelt University (7-12, 6-9 CCAC) got the Trolls back to the .500 mark in conference play. The win also brought the Trolls home record to 8-3 this season.

It was another legendary performance from senior Gabby Kreykes. She led all scorers with 36 points. She also had 12 rebounds, three assists and five blocks. Roosevelt tied the score at 81 when Gabrielle Beggs was fouled with one second remaining. She made both free throws and we went to an extra period. Freshman Faith Davis hit a critical three to open up the scoring in overtime.
