Rollins Beats Flagler to Extend Win Streak to Five

A 17-2 run in the third quarter helped cement the victory for the Tars

WINTER PARK, Fla. (Dec. 15, 2023) – The Rollins women's basketball team pushed its win streak to five straight games on Friday with a 58-46 defeat of the visiting Flagler Saints. The Tars are now 6-3 on the season, while Flagler drops to 4-4. The win also avenges Rollins' season-opening loss at Flagler back on November 15.
 
Aaliyah Irizarry-Perez led the Tars with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Emily McIntosh chipped in with nine points. Lucy Leen pulled down a game-high 11 boards to go along with six points, while Claire Erickson and Maddie Dillinger each tallied seven points.

First Quarter
  • Both teams started out cold from the floor, with the first points of the game coming at the 6:38 mark of the first quarter, scored by Flagler to give the visitors a 2-0 lead.
  • The Saints built an 8-3 advantage before back-to-back threes from McIntosh and Grace Alfieri put the Tars up, 9-8.
  • A pair of free throws in the final minute of the period gave Flagler a 10-9 advantage after the first 10 minutes.

  • Irizarry-Perez hit a jumper with 3:43 on the clock to tie the game at 22, and less than a minute later she knocked down two free throws to push the Tars ahead, 24-22.
  • Rollins closed the half on a 10-2 run, eventually earning a 30-24 halftime advantage.
Third Quarter
  • The Tars used a 17-2 burst over the course of about seven minutes in the third to stretch their lead to 47-28.
  • Flagler scored seven straight points to trim the deficit to 12, but Irizarry-Perez connected on two late free throws to give the Blue and Gold a commanding 49-35 edge heading to the final quarter.
