The Lady Tridents roster size grew in numbers for its second game of the season and it was able to bring in a bigger team with more skills and experience. UOG began to find its rhythm in the second quarter by scoring 14 points and came up strong with solid defense that led to steals and rebounds on both ends of the floor, and UOG was able to hold Fuesta to 10 points in the second period and the Tridents trailed 41-20 at the half.

In the end, Fuesta pulled away with the 76-40 victory in the second half by playing better defense themselves against the Tridents and stopping UOG from shooting and drives insides the paint.

Top scorers in the game were Fuesta's Henderson with 23 points and Elisha Benavente (who also plays on the UOG Women’s Soccer Team) with 11. The Tridents were led by Izzy Abad with 10 points for the Tridents.
