Cornelius While scores 20 en route to the Saints' 19th win
Gainesville, FL
Santa Fe (19-10) handle St. Petersburg (8-21) 80-66 on Monday Night in Gainesville.
Cornelius White scored a career high 20 points and led all scorers as Santa Fe took down St. Petersburg with ease in their last conference game of the season. The Saints hit multiple 3-pointers to start the game which forced the Titans to burn a timeout just a minute into the game. A highly offnesive night for the Saints was fueled by 16 3-pointers, 5 of those coming in the first half by Cornelius While alone.
The Saints held a ten point advantage or more for the majority of the game, as they took a 24 point 49-25 lead into the break. A strong second half effort from St. Petersburg cut into the lead but the Saints prevailed 80-66.
Two other Saints found themselves in double figures, with Alex Pierre Louis adding 14 and Guy Twitty with 12 points.
The Saints wrap up year two under John Ritzdorf and earn an impressive 8 more wins this season than what they had in 2024-25. Santa Fe finds themselves on the unfortunate end of a Citrus Conference tiebreak as they will be the first team left out from the Citrus Conference in the FCSAA State Tournament.
