Baseball’s ofense shines in victory over Saint Ambrose 8 TTheEchoNews.comROJAN NATION February 23, 2018 FRIDAY Trojans open tournament swinging Women’s basketball headed to semifnals Justin Chapman Sports Editor

All the women’s basketball team needs is one more win. After their recent victory Tuesday over Mount Vernon Nazarene, the Trojans now own 22 wins this season. One more win, and they match their win total from 2006–07, when they held a re- cord of 23–12. Taylor led early on against Mount Vernon Nazarene, claiming a 35–20 lead half-way through the second quarter.
