WINTER PARK, Fla. (January 12, 2013) - Rollins held off a late Palm Beach Atlantic charge Saturday as the 21st-ranked Tars won 55-50 in a nonconference match-up.

Sarah Taylor set a new career high with 14 points to lead Rollins (10-3). Ashley Losch added 12 points off the bench while Ashley Jones recorded 10 points and six rebounds.

Ashley Dolberry paced PBA (4-12) with a game-high 19 points and 12 rebounds. Kristie Mason netted 13 off the bench and Lynsey Poole posted seven points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

The first half was played close with a Losch jumper knotting the score at 17 with 2:42 to play. They then traded baskets as the clock wound down with the Tars taking a 21-19 lead heading into the locker room. The opening frame saw six ties and three lead changes with neither leading by more than four.

Rollins took control to start the second and jumped ahead 35-25 after the first five minutes. A 7-1 run by the 'Fish closed the Rollins lead to 36-32 with 11:08 to go.

Back-to-back jumpers by Taylor and Losch with 6:26 left put Rollins back up by eight. PBA then got hot from outside and a Taylor Peterson 3-poiner with 2:26 to play cut Rollins' advantage to 49-48. Losch scored on the Tars' next possession but Dolberry answered to make it 51-50 with 55 seconds left.

Rollins then iced the game by shooting 4-of-6 from the free throw line and forcing two PBA turnovers in the final 35 seconds.

The Tars shot just 29 percent (19-64) from the field and were 14-of-23 from the free throw line. PBA was 41 percent (19-of-46) and outrebounded Rollins 42-37. Rollins committed only eight turnovers and forced 23 from the 'Fish.
