Rollins Falls To ERAU.

The Rollins Tars got 22 points from Jakobi Bonner-amd- 19 from Kyle Marion but it was not enough in a 98-81 loss at the ICI Center. With the loss Rollins falls to 10-9 and 4-7 in the SSC. The Eagles improve to 14-6 and 6-6 in the SSC with the win.
 As mentioned earlier Bonner- and- Marion led the way for the Tars. They shot 44 percent from the field- 38 percent (13-34) from the 3-point line- and- 74 percent (14-19) at the free throw line. Rollins had 19 assists- and- 13 turnovers in the contest.
The high octane Eagles  were led by Nick Heard who poured in a game high 35 points- Luka Majostorovic added 17- and- Romeo Crouch chipped in 14- and- a team leading 11 assists. The Eagles shot a sizzling 62 percent from the floor- 53 percent (19-36) from the 3-point line- and- were a perfect 11 of 11 from the free throw line. ERAU won the rebounding battle 34-26.

 After a 15-5 start by ERAU Rollins would get to within one (17-16) after a Bonner 3-ball at the 13:26 mark. It would be a five point game (29-24) when the Eagles went on a 19-0 run as the Tars would go more than six minute without a field goal until a Marion layup at the 2:16 mark. Marion would get it to 18 with a 3-pointer- but Tylin Locket-Fuller would hit a three of his own to make it 51-30 Eagles at the half.
