LAKELAND - A 22-9 run in the final 3:19 propelled the Moccasins to a 74-66 win over Saint Rose Saturday in the FSC/Holiday Inn South Classic at Jenkins Field House.

A pair of free throws by Elizabeth Buckley gave Saint Rose a 57-52 lead with 4:53 remaining, but a layup by Nicolle DiRaimo, a pair of free throws by Michaela Hawley and a free throw by Tanja Speaker pulled the Moccasins even at 57-57 with 4:06 to go.

Chelsea Johnson, who had been held to just four points in the game, sank a three-pointer with 3:19 left to give the Moccasins a lead they would not surrender.
