Gainesville, FL – Playing without sophomore leader Josh Hawkins, the Santa Fe Saints fought until the end against the top team in the conference, before falling in the final minutes 86-78.
The freshman heavy Saints (14-9, 1-4 MFC) took an early lead over the sophomore led Falcons, going up 8-2 on the strength of two D-Juan Taylor-Hodge three pointers.  DSC kept the score close from there and eventually turned it around to take 39-36 lead at the half.
Daytona (20-5, 4-1 MFC) started the second half with the momentum, doubling the lead to six.  The Saints slowly fought back, eventually grabbing the lead on two free throws by Taylor-Hidge with 13 minutes to go.
