Falcons Improve to 4-0

TEMPLE TERRACE, Fla. - The #21 Florida College Falcons put on quite the show on Friday night in Conn Gymnasium, defeating the Conquistadors of Florida National University 107-61.

The Falcons shot a ridiculous 66.7% from the field, easily a season-high. They also shot 61.1% from beyond the arc and 92.3% from the charity stripe. After leading 23-20 with 8 minutes remaining in the first half, the Falcons used a 26-12 run to take a commanding 17-point lead into the break.

The Falcons dominated the second half from the get-go. They extended their lead to 30 points with over 10 minutes remaining, and to 40-plus with over 5 minutes remaining.

All ten dressed FC players played and scored in the contest. Phat Cleveland and Matt Simpson led the home team in scoring with 16 points a piece. Cleveland scored his in just 15 minutes of action on an efficient 7-of-9 shooting. Jashavius Perdue filled in for Calvin Finch Jr., earning his first start of the year, and scored 12 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and blocked 3 shots. Steph Martin poured in 14 points off the bench (a career-high). Bryan Chong chipped in 13 points. Drew Kramer also notched 13 points while also grabbing 7 rebounds. EJ Wynn and Anthony Bittar each scored 8 points. Bittar filled up the stat sheet with 5 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals.

"This was one of the most complete games we have played in the last three years," said Teichmann. "We really fed off the crowd's energy from the jump. They were unbelievable. I thought we shared the ball tremendously and took what the defense gave us. We really locked in defensively and executed things we practice repeatedly, so that was really encouraging as well."

The (4-0, 2-0 CAC) Falcons will enjoy 6 days off, before taking on Haskell Indian Nations University on November 10 in Lawrence, Kansas.
