The Tri Titans will look to defend their home court on Monday against the Blue River Valley Vikings at 7:00 p.m. Tri will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak.
Tri has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three matchups by 32 points or more this season. They breezed by Cambridge City Lincoln at home to the tune of 61-24. Given Tri's advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 117th, while Cambridge City Lincoln is ranked 361st), the result on Tuesday wasn't entirely unexpected.

Cornelius has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Rylee Boyd, who scored 21 points.
Meanwhile, Blue River Valley came up short against Wapahani on Tuesday and fell 42-33.

Tri's win bumped their season record to 6-1 while Cambridge City Lincoln's loss dropped theirs to 1-4.
