Paced by Jeffery Shelton’s triple-double, Rota outgunned a highly regarded Spanish club team 87-63 on Saturday.

Shelton had 41 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists and eight steals as the Admirals claimed a wire-to-wire victory over CD Gymnastica Portuenese at Puerto Santa Maria, Spain.

“…Gymnastica is the top-rated team in our area, so this was a big road win for us,” Rota coach Ben Anderson wrote in an e-mail.

Road victories are important to the Admirals, the defending Division III champions, who play their only DODDS-Europe games away from home. They travel to Alconbury in January for their only DODDS-Europe competition before the European tournament in February.

Shelton, who scored 25 points with nine rebounds and five steals in Friday’s 54-30 home victory over another club team, was one of four Admirals in double-figures on Saturday. Alan Dowden, who had five steals, scored 17; Zach Collins 12; and Tyrell Boddie 10 to go with his 10 rebounds.

Rota (3-0) led 28-19 after the first period, before Gymnastica cut the gap to five at halftime. A 25-point third quarter and 23 in the fourth put the Spaniards away.

“Kevin Rios and Sterling Frost gave great hustle combinations off the bench,” Anderson wrote.
