Three minutes into the second quarter, a three-pointer by Nicole Scales gave the Sharks their first lead of the game.

Head Coach LeAnn Freeland-Curry: We picked up a huge road win today against a very hot Rollins team who had won eight straight and were undefeated in the SSC. Our players locked in defensively and made it very difficult for them to score. Overall, it was one of the best defensive efforts in years. Our staff is very proud of how our team is coming together and working hard for each other.
