The Lead:Â For the final time before the exam break, the Hollins basketball team took to her home court in a non-conference game against Regent University. It was Senior Night for a trio of Hollins players that helped to lay the foundation on which this historic start has been built.
Kinzie Henninger,
Cabria Mutz, and
Moriah Hill were honored prior to the opening tip. After the festivities, Hollins wasted little time in seizing control of the game, building a 20-point halftime lead. The HU record improved to 7-1 after the 84-50 win.
HighlightsÂ
- A pair of Mutz free throws and a three-pointer by Hill gave Hollins a lead that they would never relinquish. A Zaria Holden free throw pushed the lead to 10 and two Sarah Morales free throws made it 23-11 after one period of play.
