Late Triple Sinks Tars In See-Saw Affair.

 In a game that featured 21 ties and 30 lead changes Flagler got a 3-pointer from Spencer Bain with one second left that got the Saints past Rollins College 94-93 in an entertaining battle at Warden Arena inside the Alfond Sports Center. With the win Flagler improves to 5-4 while Rollins drops to 3-4 after the defeat. 

 The game would go back and forth in the early going as it would all day long. After a Cody Potter 3-pointer Rollins would lead 14-12 at the 13:29 mark of the opening stanza. Chase Fiddler and Cam Corcoran would trade triples the next time down the court for each team. A Corcoran 3-ball would tie the game again this time at 22 with 10:18 in the opening stanza. Kyle Marion would drain a triple for Rollins at the 5:17 mark of the first half and it was 34-32 Rollins. The teams would see a handful more ties before Jaylen Lemons hit a 3-pointer right before the halftime horn to put Flagler up 47-44 at the intermission. 

 Rollins shot 51.6 percent from the field in the opening half, 54.5 percent (6-11) from the 3-point line, and 75 percent (6-8) at the charity stripe in the opening stanza. 

 Flagler shot 58.6 percent in the half, 56.2 percent (9-16) from the 3-point line, and  perfect four of four at the free throw line in the opening 20 minutes. 

 Rollins erased the deficit early in the second half as a Cade Long hoop would knot the game at 52 with 18:19 on the clock. After a Bin 3-pointer put the Saints up three the Tars went on a 7-0 run as Yenor would hit a 3-pointer, Matheus Silviera scored a basket and Yenor made a pair of free throws to make it 59-55 RC at the 16:37 mark. The next lead change would come at the 12:52 mark as Flagler got a 3-ball by Bain to give them a 67-65 advantage. John Latimer gave Rollins a brief three point lead (70-67) but Lemons tied it on the ensuing possession. The game continued on the see-saw until it was again knotted at 83 on a pair of Yenor free throws with 4:58 to go. Yenor again made two free throws this time to put the Tars back on top but a 3-pointer by Figueroa gave the Saints a 86-85 lead with 3:45 to go. Another 3-pointer, this one by Lemons stretched the Flagler lead to four (89-85.) Yenor made a layup and after a Flagler turnover Rollins knotted the game at 89 on a Silviera layup with just under two minutes to go. Chase Fiddler and Yenor traded baskets to tie the game at 91 with 40 seconds on the clock. Yenor made a pair of free throws for Rollins with eight seconds to give the Tars the lead. Then Lemons collapsed the defense to find Bain for the game winner with one second to go.  

 Flagler shot 57.6 percent from the field, 55.9 percent from the 3-point line (19-34) from the 3-point line, and 87.5 percent (7-8) from the free throw line. Figueroa led the Saints with 24 points as he knocked down six triples on the day, Fiddler made five 3-pointer's of his own to score 21 points, Lemons added 17, Bain made five triples including the game winner on his way to 15 points, while Kyle Young tallied 14 points and 10 rebounds.
