SEWANEE, Tenn. (Nov. 26, 2013) – After a dominant 17-0 run to start the game, the Sewanee men's basketball team rolled past Toccoa Falls, 82-63, Tuesday evening inside Juhan Gymnasium.

During the opening four minutes, Sewanee (3-2) built its lead by holding the Eagles scoreless while hitting all six of its field goals. That included three-point field goals by freshman Jorden Williams, and sophomores Leo Born and Seth Brown.

After Toccoa Falls finally got on the board with a free throw by Jon Sauls, the Tigers continued to roll.

Another three by Williams with 15:10 left in the first half sparked an 18-9 run over the next eight minutes.

That helped Sewanee build a 29-point lead, 52-23, at halftime.

Out of the locker room, the Tigers kept the pressure on. Sewanee would lead by as much as 35, 58-23, when Brown completed an old fashion three-point play at the 17:13 mark.

Toccoa Falls would play better from there. The Eagles made 46.2 percent of their attempts in the second half, which set up the final 19-point loss. 

As a team, Sewanee made 50 percent of its attempts while outrebounding Toccoa Falls by four, 36-32.

The Tigers also forced 15 turnovers, which included eight steals.

Individually, Born led the Tigers with 15 points on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting. In fact, Tuesday marked the fourth straight game that the Ringgold, Ga., native has scored in double figures. 

Additionally, Williams added 13 points while Brown finished with 10.

Overall, Sewanee continued to show its depth as 14 players scored and all 16 players finished with at least one rebound. The Tigers also finished with 40 points from their reserves.

Guard Jon Sauls led Toccoa Falls with a game-high 21 points. 

Sewanee returns to action December 4, when in-state rival Maryville travels to Juhan Gymnasium. The Scots and Tigers are scheduled to tip-off at 7:00 p.m.
