A 10-minute scoring drought proved to be too much to overcome for Colorado College on Saturday night.

Trinity University outscored CC 25-6 midway through the game, and that proved to be the difference as the hosts posted a 73-52 victory and earned a split in the season series.

Despite falling behind by 10 points during the first seven minutes, a three-pointer by senior guard Edmund Pendleton cut Colorado College's deficit to 20-17 with 6:41 remaining before halftime.

TU countered with a 16-6 surge to close out the first half and then scored first nine points of the second half to extend its lead to 22.

A bucket by freshman guard Aaron Acosta pulled CC to within 50-35 with 12:07 left on the clock, but that proved as close as Colorado College would get.

Acosta connected on five of 12 shot from the floor, including three from behind the arc, led CC with 15 points.

Senior forward CooXooEii Black added nine points and six rebounds for Colorado College, which dropped to 6-13 overall and 2-8 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Freshman guard Isaac Zachem finished with eight points, while Pendleton had seven.

As a team, CC shot just over 36 percent from the floor.

Isiah Specks posted game highs of 16 points and nine rebounds for Trinity.

TU also received 15 points from Jordan Lippman, who made six of nine field-goal attempts.

Matthew Cauliflower added 12 points for Trinity, which improved to 3-14 overall and 3-5 in the SCAC.

Colorado College visits the University of Dallas on Friday, Jan. 25, in the last of three consecutive road games.
