The Hollins University basketball team went on the road for a tournament at McDaniel College in western Maryland.  Hollins drew the host Green Terror in the first game of the two day event.  McDaniel got off to a quick start and ran the lead to 16-3 until Hollins found their footing and begin to get back into the game.  After a three pointer at the end of the half, Hollins had cut the lead to 29-21.  The second half saw Hollins make a steady comeback cutting the lead to two with 13 minutes left and then whittling the lead to one with just seven minutes to play.  Hollins would complete the comeback by tying the score at 47-47 with 1:24 left in the matchup, but the host drew away and held on at the end for a 54-50 tournament opening win.
