GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Santa Fe College Men's Basketball, now receiving votes in the latest NJCAA poll, prevailed over Florida State College at Jacksonville by a 75-52 score to improve to 12-0 inside the SF Gymnasium.

The Saints ended the opening half well and continued the momentum into the second half to claim their fifth consecutive Central Conference victory.  

First Half – SF 37, FSCJ 24

The opening half on the offensive end was dominated by both Bradley Douglas (13 points) and Hasan Abdul-Hakim (11 points).

The Saints were able to force a few turnovers to get out into transition, often finishing at the rim with authority.

The Blue Wave, who have yet to win so far this season, had shown signs of life to keep it close in the early going. SF, however, ended the half well, held FSCJ's offense to a dry spell, and set the stage for more of what was to come in the final 20 minutes of play.

Second Half – SF 75, FSCJ 52

By widening the gap in the early moments of the second half, the Saints were able to cruise in the final minutes and tinker with different lineups in the comfortable victory.

Key Statistics

The Saints were right at their season-average of three-pointers made, sinking nine. Four came from the hand of Douglas, who alongside Abdul-Hakim, finished with team-high scoring honors with 18 points.

SF continued to also be efficient from the free-throw line, making 12-of-13.
