Roy hit a layup with 30 seconds left and came up with an offensive rebound to ice the game with three seconds left.
Not a bad first impression for the senior transfer from Camden Charter, fresh off her 30-day waiting period.
"I was proud to be out there with my team, and I just feel like I exploded when I hit the court," Roy said. "I just knew I had to come out and try to motivate the team."
With Roy, a forward, the Tigers have three players capable of being among the top scorers in South Jersey.
Senior forward Kamari Talley is averaging more than 18 points, and sophomore guard Chanelle Perry averages almost 15.
Last season, Shanice Maynard, now a freshman at Coppin State, was the team's catalyst on both ends of the floor. This season, the Tigers feature more balanced scoring, as Perry continues to develop into a star of Maynard's ilk.
"Shanice was a big part of our team," Perry said. "But we knew when she left that we just had to keep playing hard. I think we have a team filled with players who are excellent offensively and defensively."
Added Talley: "We have a lot of confidence. And we're looking forward to the rest of the season."
Tall order. A coach dreams of certain things.
Having five players capable of scoring in double figures on a given night, that's one of them.
Having your rival's most dangerous player join your team, that's usually one, too.
Sacred Heart coach Steve DiPatro has the luxury of both this season.
The Lions' 73-13 win over Hammonton on Tuesday was 6-foot-2 sophomore center Kennedy Johnson's first game in a Sacred Heart uniform.
"She was the toughest defensive matchup that we had to game-plan for last year," DiPatro said of Johnson, a transfer from Holy Spirit who scored 18 points against Hammonton in her first game after her 30-day waiting period.
