DAVIE, FLA.- Tina Stephens tied her career high with 29 points Wednesday night as #12 FSW ran past Broward 89-81 to take the season series from the Seahawks 2-1.
FSW led by two, 16-14 after the first quarter before opening up their lead to double digits at the half behind a 21 point second quarter. It looked like they had things in control as they led 62-45 after three, but things got crazy in the fourth as the two teams combined for 63 points, but with the clock on their side, time ran out for a Seahawk comeback and the Bucs held on for an 89-81 victory.
The Bucs shot 52% on the night, their second highest total on the season behind their last meeting with Broward. FSW also shot 50% from the three-point line and 74% from the free throw line. Tina Stephens led FSW with 29 points and 7 rebounds, including going 12-13 from the free throw line. Shondell Vickers sparked the Bucs off the bench, scoring 18 points, going 6-8 from both the floor and the line.
FSW improves to 5-2 with the win and will take the court again on Tuesday when they host Impact Academy at 5:30 at Suncoast Credit Union Arena.
