The Tars are coming off of a heartbreaking 77-76 loss to Albany
State in triple overtime last week at the SIAC/SCC Classic.' While
the Tars fared well in the tournament as a whole, they were unable
to pull out a win in the Championship game, falling to Albany in a
last ditch effort from Albany player Nikia Trice to end the game.'
Despite the loss, four Tars posted career highs over the two days,
and two walked away with double-doubles.
IN THE RANKINGS
Rollins is not currently ranked in NCAA Division II polls,
but are #1 in scoring defense and #2 in field goal percentage

The Tars will be back on the road to play Saint Leo in their second
Sunshine State Conference matchup for the year.' The next week,
they will continue their streak of away games at Florida Tech for
their third SSC game, and will take yet another road trip to
Flagler three days later.
