BOX SCORE

IMMACULATA, Pa.- Immaculata (8-8, 7-2 CSAC) started out shooting the ball very well and never looked back in their 83-66 road victory over Rosemont (3-8 CSAC) to complete the season sweep of the Ravens.  The Mighty Macs scored a season-high in points with 23-44 (52.3%) shooting from the field, 8-15 (53.3%) from beyond the arc, and 29-35 (82.9%) from the free throw line.  The 29 made free throws ties the most made in school history.
 
Senior Nelson Torres continues to play very well in helping the Mighty Macs notch their third straight victory.  The senior had 19 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists.  Senior T.J. Klinger was 4-4 from three-point range in the first half and finished with 15 points, while junior Brandon Smith had another strong performance with 16 points and seven rebounds.  Sophomore Xavier Brown was the final double digit scorer with 11 points.
 
Immaculata started the game red-hot as they raced out to a 10-0 advantage in the first four minutes after a Klinger three-pointer, five straight from Torres, and a Smith lay-in to set the tone early.
 
The Mighty Macs held the lead for the majority of the first half, but Derrick Carter (18 points) and the Ravens kept cutting into the early Immaculata advantage before finally taking the lead at 29-28 with two minutes remaining before halftime.  Senior Kendall Peters (four points, four rebounds) gave the Mighty Macs the lead back, before Klinger sent Immaculata to the locker room with a 33-32 advantage after his fourth triple of the half.
 
After fighting off a furious Ravens' run, Immaculata seized control to start the second half by going on a 23-7 run right out of the break and taking a 56-39 lead with 12:14 left in the game after freshman Tyreek Peeples (six points) knocked down a three to put an exclamation point on the spurt.  Smith keyed the run with nine of the points and Torres also chipped in with six of his own to give the Mighty Macs the commanding advantage.
 
Rosemont trimmed the lead to 11 points at 63-52 with 7:31 remaining, but yet again the Mighty Macs had an answer.  The lead grew as large as 21 at 83-62 after a lay-up by senior Mark Davenport (six points).  Immaculata cruised to the 83-66 victory over the Ravens.
 
Immaculata will return to Alumnae Hall to take on Marywood at 8 p.m. looking to avenge an earlier loss to the Pacers and stay unbeaten at home.
