MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Host St. Thomas (9-9, 5-2 TSC) defeated Keiser (13-8, 6-3 TSC) 67-53 Saturday night at the Fernandez Family Center.

It was a tale of two quarters really as St. Thomas played host to Sun Conference opponents for the first of two meetings this season. With the score tied 8-8 half way through the first quarter, Keiser took off and went on a 13-to-7 run to dominate the first quarter, closing it out with a 15-21 point lead.
 
The second quarter brought better play from the Bobcats. As the score read 23-23 with 5:41 left in the second, STU got fired up. Katie Rienas exploded with two back-to-back three pointers, assisting in what would be a 17-to-6 point run from the Bobcats to go in to the half. It was STU that used a 25-8 second quarter to seize control of the game and put away the Seahawks. From this point on, Keiser trailed the rest of the game.
 
The resilience from STU helped drive them to yet another win, which would now be three in a row, improving their conference record to 5-2.
 
Four of the five Bobcat starters scored in double figures led by Desanta' Franklin-Jordan with 18 points to go along with nine rebounds.  Emily May scored 15 points, a season high, while Rienas posted 13 points. Supavadee Kunchuan recorded 15 points, which went along well with her 11 rebounds, giving her double-double number three of the season. 

Next up for STU is a home Sun Conference match up against a Webber International team that they beat earlier during the week. This game will take place on Tuesday, January 24 at 7 p.m. at the Fernandez Family Center.
