Earlier in the week junior Nick Wolf was awarded his third conference player of the week award following big contributions in each of those victories.

Against Barry, Wolf scored 23 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the Tars came away with a 70-59 win on the road, before returning home and getting past Tampa, 61-59.

In that game, Wolf scored the go-ahead bucket with 17 seconds to play and added a free throw for good measure as he finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Wolf leads the Tars this season with team-highs of 18.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

On Wednesday, in a 76-68 win over Nova Southern, Wolf suffered a scratch to his eye but nearly finished the night with another double-double as he went for 12 points and nine rebounds.

Rollins College enters the final three games of the season having won 11 of its last 12. Their lone loss in that stretch came at No. 11 Florida Southern on Feb. 6.

Next up is a road game at Saint Leo (11-16 overall, 4-9 in SSC) on Saturday and home games against Florida Tech (13-11, 3-10) on Wednesday, Feb. 24 and Eckerd (15-8, 8-5) on Saturday, Feb. 27 before the start of the conference tournament on March 3.
