TAMPA, Fla.--DePauw University earned a 79-45 victory against Connecticut College in the first round of the Tampa Bay Shootout held at the Tampa Preparatory School Saturday.

 The Tigers improve their record to 6-4 with their second consecutive win and will meet LaGrange College tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in the Championship game.

The Camels (4-6) will meet the Titans of Westminster College in the third place game at 1:00 p.m.

Seniors Barry Flynn (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Kevin Sullivan (Upper Arlington, Ohio) netted 11 points each to lead the Tigers in the triumph. Mark Johnson (Northbrook, Ill.) reached double-figures with 10 points and six boards for DePauw.

Connecticut College junior co-captains John Bullitt (Brookline, Mass.) and Matt Vadas (Spring Lake Heights, N.J.) were the offensive leaders for the Camels.

Bullitt netted nine points to go with four rebounds while Vadas finished with eight points, four caroms and two assists.

Connecticut College head coach Tom Satran was impressed with a talented Tiger squad that has scored 155 points in its last two wins.

"We didn't play our best against a quality opponent, "Satran said. "We just couldn't develop any sustained rhythm at either end and DePauw did a great job capitalizing on our mistakes."

Freshman Jared Shill (Woodcliff Lakes, N.J.) provided a spark from the backcourt, finishing with six points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals.

The action continues in the Sunshine State Sunday afternoon.
