Entering the Divisional Tournament, the Trojans fell right away against Missoula Loyola on Thursday, 45-89.
After being beaten by nearly twice their score, the Trojans took on Deer Lodge the next day. However, the team wasn’t able to pick up momentum, and suffered another loss 38-73.
The Trojans’ season has been difficult for the team, after narrowly missing the gap to advance to divisionals, the Trojans came further than many anticipated.
Last year, the Trojans also ended their season at the Divisional Tournament.
Next year, all but three of their varsity team members will have graduated.
