Marques Hatch got his first win as Triton College women's basketball head coach Nov. 4 in an 87-59 road win at Elgin Community College. The win was the first for Hatch, but most importantly the first for his Lady Trojans squad after a tough loss in the season opener against Robert Morris-Chicago JV.

However, the Lady Trojans turned up the defense, allowing just 33 points the final three quarters. Triton (1-1) outscored Elgin 30-10 in the 2nd quarter to take a 49-36 lead at halftime. The Lady Trojans then opened the second half with a 10-0 run to build the lead up to 23 points and never looked back.
