INDIAN RIVER HANDS SAINTS FOURTH STRAIGHT LOSS, 80-70

Marianna, FL – A slow start once again doomed Santa Fe (0-4) on Saturday afternoon as Indian River State College took advantage and came away with an 80-70 win.

The Saints shot just 34% in the first half and trailed 39-29 going into the break. Indian River kept the defensive pressure up in the second half and held Âé¶¹Ô­´´ in check once again, holding on for the 10 point win.

"We played a poor first half again and struggled to get anything going in the second half," said Âé¶¹Ô­´´ Coach Chanda Stebbins. "On the positive side, Shanice [Clark] gave us a nice presence down low and Lonna [Turner] showed a lot of hustle and played very hard."

Turner led Âé¶¹Ô­´´ in scoring with 13 points and Alexis Fitts and Stephanie Edwards had 11 each.

The Saints continue in the Girls' Basketball Report Tournament on Sunday, November 13 at 11:00 AM CST against Monroe College (NY). The game can be watched live at www.chipola.edu/tv.
