Trojans can’t keep pace with Terre Haute South, 60-34

*Charleston’s Caleb Hurst (0) scored seven points Wednesday night*

Charleston made four of its first seven shots to go ahead 10-7 and retained a 13-12 lead after one period.

The Braves outscored Charleston 16-5 in the second quarter and 24-9 in the third when they had six more steals to take a 52-27 lead entering the final quarter.

Charleston was playing in its fourth game in six days.

“Terre Haute’s quickness and aggressive defense hurt us a little,” Charleston coach Brad Oakley said. “We missed some shots we normally hit, but their defense had something to do with that as well.”

Isaac Miller made two 3-pointers to score 10, the only Trojans player in double-figures. Luke Bell added eight and both Caleb Hurst and Cade Landrus had seven points apiece.

Charleston, now 3-2, travels to play Mahomet on Friday night.
