JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Tanner Rubio set career highs with eight 3-pointers and 31 points, J.R. Holder scored 26 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Jacksonville beat Stetson 103-92 on Wednesday night.
Darien Fernandez added 23 points and Cody Helgeland 13 for Jacksonville (14-9, 2-4 Atlantic Sun Conference), which snapped a three-game skid.
The Dolphins hit 10 of their 18 3-pointers in the first 12 minutes, including a 3 by Fernandez that gave them a 38-16 lead with eight minutes left in the half. Jacksonville had its highest-scoring first half of the season to take a 59-42 advantage into the break. Stetson (8-14, 1-5) trimmed its deficit to 86-81 on a 3-point play by Divine Miles with 5:11 remaining, but Rubio answered with a 3 and the Dolphins led by at least nine the rest of the way.
Derick Newton scored 31 for the Hatters - his third game with 30-plus points this season.
