Winter Haven, FL -- The Polk Community College Vikings hosted Ancilla College from Indianapolis, IN on Friday night for their second home game of the year. The Vikings started out hot making their first three 3-point field goals. However, Ancilla answered back by executing their offense and making clutch baskets. Polk stayed tough and gained a 5 point advantage at the break 30-25. Polk came out the second half, yet again, with good defense and gained an early 13 point advantage. Ancilla kept making shots, chipping away at Polk's lead. Ancilla cut the lead to 1 and even took the lead by 1 with 2 minutes to go in the game. Polk answered right back with a free throw tying the game at 56. The Vikings forced a turnover and converted on the other end to go up 2, 58-56. Ancilla came right back with a 3 to take the lead with 1:32 to play. Polk came right back down and was fouled sending Polk's Quincy Hankins to line with 1 minute and a tie game. He made one of two tying the game. Ancilla came right back down and had a chance to take the lead but their shot fell short and was rebounded by the Vikings before they called timeout to set up their last play. Out of the timeout, Polk ran a hi screen for Lance Jeter who turned the corner and found a slashing Tyron Johnson who out-leaped an Ancilla defender to finished at the rim with 2.2 seconds remaining putting Polk up 61-59. Ancilla called a timeout and set up a play but a long pass was intercepted by Jeter to seal the game for the Vikings who got their first home win of the year.
