WINTER PARK, Fla. (November 27, 2015) - Rollins
found themselves in a battle midway through game one of their
annual Thanksgiving Tournament but locked in defensively down the
stretch to down UPR-Rio Piedras, 56-44.
With the win, the Tars improve to 3-2 on the year and advance to
Saturday's Championship game against the winner of Clayton State
versus Lubbock Christian.
A pair of freshman recorded career days on Friday, led by Tianna
Rosser who poured in 16 points on 7-11 shooting. She also
grabbed five boards to tie for the team high. Classmate Carly
McLendon netted nine, a career best, with four rebounds while
sophomore Jasmine
Stone also finished with nine of her own, hitting 4-7 from the
field. Tanaya
Jones, Cassidy
Bailey and Keevana
Edwards dished out three assists each.
For the Gallitos, Thalia Toress scored 12 with Lirielys Ramos
chipping in eight six points to go along with a game high eight
rebounds.
The Tars outrebounded UPR, 41-32, and turned the ball over just
14 times compared to the Gallitos' 23. Rollins bench outscored the
UPR bench, 31-14.
UPR came out firing in the first quarter, leading by as much as
seven with under four minutes left in the period.
Rollins would close the quarter with an 8-0 run, four by Rosser,
to take a 16-15 lead and went on to seize control in the second,
taking a 33-27 lead into halftime.
The Tars lead would move to double digits early in the third
before UPR cut it five at the 6:53 mark but that was as close as it
would get the rest of the way as Rollins came back with a 6-0 run
and never looked back.
The Rollins defense allowed just eight points in the fourth to
secure the win.
The Championship game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 3
p.m. Fans can watch all the action live on the Geico TSN on
