Location: Washington, D.C.   

The Lead: The Hollins basketball team traveled to our nation's capital to face a Trinity squad that they had defeated, 76-67, earlier in the month. The game with the Tigers was originally scheduled for December with the makeup taking place on Super Bowl Sunday. HU raced out to a 14-3 lead before a Trinity rally tied it at 17-17 after one quarter of play. The Green and Gold would seize control late in the second period and take an 11 point lead into the half. A 24-13 third frame allowed Hollins to put the game away as they completed the two-game sweep by a final of 82-59. 

Highlights:
  • Three pointers by Moriah Hill and Ariana Gutierrez would fuel a 14-3 start to the game. Trinity rallied to take a one-point lead before a Gutierrez free throw tied the score at 17-17 after 10 minutes of play.
  • With three minutes remaining before the half, a T Shover layup followed by another Gutierrez 3-pointer and the Hollins lead was eight. Three straight Millie Shaw free throws and a Sarah Bell bucket would give HU a 43-32 lead at the break.
  • The third quarter belonged to Hollins as Cabria Mutz scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds to allow the visitors to take a 69-47 advantage into the fourth quarter.
  • Rebekah Funderburk gave Hollins a 25-point lead and then a Shaw three-ball gave Hollins their largest lead of the afternoon, 81-52. At the buzzer it would be an 82-59 total giving Hollins their second win of the season over the Tigers.
