Long, Silveira, And Marion Power Rollins Past Eckerd.

 Cade Long, Matheus Silveira, and Kyle Marion combined to score 63 points and powered the Rollins College Tars to a 83-80 win over the Eckerd College Tritons at Warden Arena on Saturday. With the win Rollins improves to 8-14 and 5-10 in the SSC. Eckerd falls to 12-11 and 7-8 in the SSC after the loss. 

 The trio of Long, Silveira, and Marion got things going for Rollins early. Silveria and Marion each made a basket before a Long 3-pointer gave the Tars a 7-0 lead 1:27 into this one. Rollins had a 12-3 lead before Isaiah Placide hit a pair of triples and Carr Thiam pulled the Tritons within one (12-11) at the 15:28 mark of the first half. Sergey Grishaev would go on a personal 5-0 run to stretch the Rollins lead to six. After Thiam hit a 3-ball it was 19-17 Rollins. Marion hit a jumper at the 12:48 mark of the half and then both teams went ice cold. The next basket would be a Placide 3-pointer at the 10:26 mark of the first half. Another Eckerd three this time by Will Willard would give them a two point lead. Rollins would break a 4:46 second scoring droughts on a Jaden Frazier hoop that knotted the game at 23 with 8:02 left in the first half. A jumper by Timothy Thomas put Eckerd up but a Dylan Wolle 3-pointer would give Rollins the lead right back. The Tritons would score the next four to lead 29-26. Rollins would score the next nine points to go up 35-29 with 4:55 until halftime after a Silveira basket. The next five points would go to the Tritons before Rollins closed the half with the final three points to take a 38-34 halftime lead. 

 Rollins shot 48.8 percent in the first half. 38.4 percent (5-13) from the 3-point line, and 16.7 percent (1-6) at the free throw line in the opening stanza. Eckerd shot 39.4 percent in the first half, 50 percent (7-14) from the 3-point line, and 33.3 percent (1-3) at the free throw line in the opening 20 minutes. 

 Rollins led by seven (45-38) after a Silveira jumper at the 18:07 mark. After Placide hit a three at the 16:10 mark the Rollins lead was three (47-44.) After Mekhi Perry hit back to back triples the Tritons regained the lead 54-52. After a Marion jumper with 10:13 to go the game was again tied, this time at 56. The lead changed hands several times Silveria scored four straight points to put Rollins up 66-63 with 6:22 to go. After Long converted a three point play it was 71-65 Rollins with 5:14 to go. The Tritons would go on a 8-0 run to retake the lead before a Long jumper tied the game at 73 with 2:17 on the clock. After Braxton Barnhizer split a pair of free throws a George Kimble jumper put the Tritons back on top. Long knocked down a 3-ball to give Rollins a 77-75 lead with 1:19 to play. Kimble tied it with a jumper 18 seconds later. After being fouled Silveira calmly sank two free throws with 45 ticks remaining. Rollins would get enough defensive stops and make enough free throws down the stretch to pull out the 83-80 win. 

 Long led the way with five triples on his way to 23 points, Silveria added 22 on an efficient 10-13 from the field and Marion 18 to go with five assists. As a team Rollins shot 50.8 percent from the field, 44.4 percent (8-18) from the 3-point line, and 64.7 percent (11-17) from the free throw line. Rollins won the rebounding battle 35-33. They had 17 assists and 13 turnovers in the contest. 

 Eckerd was led by Placide who drilled seven triples on his way to 29 points, Thompson added 11, and Thiam, Kimble, and Perry each netted eight. The Tritons shot 49.2 percent from the field, 46.2 percent (12-26) from the 3-point line, and 66.7 percent (6-9) at the free throw line. They had 16 assists and 15 turnovers in this one.
