With illness moving through the locker room, Columbia dropped both games at the Insider Exposure at Bolles High School on Monday and Tuesday.

The Tigers played short-handed both days without point guard Eriel Baker, losing to Ponte Vedra 55-23 on Monday and then Central Florida Christian Academy 45-21 on Tuesday. Monday's contest was closer in the first half, with Columbia trailing just 23-15 at halftime before running out of gas in the second half.

Ayesha Broxey led CHS with 12 points and four steals in the loss to Ponte Vedra, while Jolena Gardner had eight points, two steals and three blocks. Gardner led the Tigers in scoring Tuesday with nine points, while Broxey had five.
