Glendale, AZ. - The Arizona Christian University women's basketball team (10-4) extended their winning streak to five games as they handled Trinity International (5-8) 70-52 on Tuesday afternoon at the ACU Events Center.

Thoughts from Coach:

After the game, Head Coach Rusty Rogers said, "Good win against a good team. They showed their resiliency after we came out with such a fantastic start. Alyssa Alvarez continued showing why she should be considered one of the best NAIA players in the country with another outstanding performance. Kaycee Brown and Baylee Slaughter did the all-important "dirty" work for us on the boards and defensively. All in all, it was a great way to come out from our holiday break!"
