Miami, FL

Santa Fe traveled to Miami Dade College for their conference matchup on Saturday afternoon as the Saints fell 72-55. Miami Dade started early and did not look back through the ball game. The Sharks outscored SF 29-13 in the first quarter, setting the tone for the remaining three-quarters of basketball. Miami Dade kept the foot on the gas scoring 17 points in the second quarter and took a 46-22 lead into the halftime break. Santa Fe came out strong in the second half, but the lead was already too big to climb out of as SF fell in conference play.

The freshman guard Micah Hannah led the Saints with 14 points. Hannah added four rebounds and five assists to her final stat line. Yanija Lawson was the only other Saint in double figures with ten points on 5-11 shooting. Lawson grabbed a team-leading eight rebounds in the loss. Santa Fe won the paint offensively outscoring Miami Dade 40-36 in that area. 

Santa Fe is back in action on Wednesday evening as they travel to Florida SouthWestern for a 5:00 PM tip-off.
