Providence kept their winning 2015 season stampeding into 2016 and toward another title on Friday evening. Head Coach Jim Martin and his Stallions downed the Westminster Lions out of Ft. Lauterdale 87-71 to advance to the final round of the 2015 Providence Christmas tournament.
Providence was matched with intensity in the first half of the contest as the Lions kept roaring back after Providence would gallop ahead for leads. The Stallions led by only two at the half.
