Game two progressed with both teams staying within 2-points or less of each other the entire time. The Trojans battled until the end, but again could not pull through. The final score was 28-26 with Northwestern winning game two as well.

The Trojans seemed to lose some fight in game three as Northwestern pulled away with the lead fast. The final score of game three was 25-12, which knocked Trinity out of the playoffs and moved Northwestern onto the NCCAA National Tournament in Kissimmee, Florida.
