Trinity tops Pinkerton in showdown between D-I Goliaths

In a battle between the top two teams in Division I, Trinity (14-1) flexed its muscle with a 52-44 win at home over Pinkerton (13-3) on Monday night. It was a back and forth affair early on that saw the game was tied at 41 with just over two minutes to go in the third.
