Gainesville, FL - In the first game of a double header at Santa Fe, the SF women's team held their own against the 18-1 Daytona Falcons, but in the end DSC was able to hit some key baskets to pull away in the closing seconds.

The Saints (10-9, 1-1 MFC) trailed by just four at the halftime break, despite shooting 20.9% from the field, thanks to some solid defense, and successful free throw shooting.  Rayven Wade finished the first 20 minutes with a double double, scoring 13 points to go with 10 rebounds.

Daytona took control of the game in the third quarter, starting the period on a 14-0 run to take their largest lead of the game at 40-22.  The Saints refused to give in and cut the lead all the way to 58-55 on the strength of three pointers from Bri Roberts and Desa'Rai Shaw.

The Falcons made their free throws down the stretch, and hit a few late buckets to turn what was a close game, into the 11 point final.
