Each team then had a turnover and missed shot.
Tucker Fylling got the Tro-jans on the board just before the quarter ended with a short turnaround jumper to make it 2-2 at the end of one.
The Trojans tried to pick up the pace in the second quarter as Trevor Thomas and Shane Nelson both put down triples for the Trojans to take an 8-2 lead at the 7:15 mark.
Austin Friesen then scored a triple and a free throw for the Skyhawks to make it 8-6, Trojans.
