January 13, 2025

The Santa Fe College men's and women's basketball teams both traveled to Eastern Florida State College for games over the weekend, returning to Gainesville with tough losses.

Men’s Basketball

In their first matchup against Eastern Florida this season, the Saints fell 77-60. SF started strong, scoring 36 points in the first half. Despite their efforts, a 25-point second half wasn’t enough to catch the Titans.

The women’s basketball team faced Eastern Florida for the second time this season. They struggled early, falling behind by 21 points at halftime. They showed resilience in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Titans by five points, but Eastern Florida’s strong performance in the first three quarters secured the 81-58 win.
