During the third quarter, and despite strong plays from Lake Orion, Troy managed to secure 14 points to the Dragon’s two. While Lake Orion found themselves on the offense a number of times, shots just didn’t seem to meet with net. The quarter ended 21-34.
But the Dragon’s weren’t finished yet, and during the fourth quarter, they managed to score 17 points to Troy’s three, including a two point game-winning shot with about 13 seconds on the clock. Troy made a worthy attempt with a few more shots, but couldn’t manage to make the basket. The game ended 38-37.

Coach Steve Roberts said that Lake Orion, currently ranked number six in the league, is currently outranked by the third placed Troy. He also mentioned that Troy had beaten the Lady Dragon’s earlier in the season by over 30 points.
‘The win was kind of a way of making up for that lose,? said Roberts.
