(Moore Gym) -- Winning 8 of their last 9, the Trojans hosted Union University in a TranSouth Conference match up. The game would prove to be a battle all the way down to the finish complete with several lead changes and overtime basketball. Union started the first half off strong taking an 8-2 lead early on, but the Trojans battled back to within three points and went in the locker room at halftime down 35-38. The second half was much of the same with neither team gaining a decisive edge. With seconds left in the game and Trevecca down by one point, senior Darryl Keckler drained a three-pointer to take a two point lead. Union was able to come back and tie the game at the end of regulation with two free throws from Bruno Martinessi to send the game into overtime.

In overtime Union jumped out to a quick lead and extended it to as much as four. Despite a deep three-pointer from Darryl Keckler to bring the score within one, a half court desperation shot from Brandon Howard bounced off the front of the rim as Trevecca fell to Union in overtime 85-83.

Senior Darryl Keckler led the scoring for the Trojans with 20 points including 4 three-pointers while senior Jared Austin added 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists shooting 6 of 10 from the field and 7 of 11 from the free throw line. Brandon Howard and Marshall "Bootsy" Hyler added 15 points each in the losing effort.

The Trojans fall to 15-7 on the season and are now 6-2 in the TranSouth Conference. Union improves to 12-11 overall and 2-6 in the conference. Trevecca will travel just 30 minutes down the road for another TranSouth contest with Cumberland University on Thursday at 8:00 p.m.
