Saints escape with 81-70 win over Florida College

TEMPLE TERRACE, Fla. − Bryan Borstelmann (Bradenton, Fla./Manatee HS) scored a game-high 20 points and added seven rebounds to lead No. 24 Flagler College to a 81-70 win over a stubborn Florida College team in a non-conference men’s basketball game Friday night at Carr Gymnasium.
 
Sam Jozenville (Orlando, Fla./Santa Fe CC) added 16 points and 10 rebounds while Kyle Cregan (New Port Richey, Fla./J.W. Mitchell HS) added 16 points, 12 of those coming from four 3-point baskets. Jon Matthews (Daytona Beach, Fla./Atlantic HS) chipped in with 14 points, 10 of those points came off of successful free throws for Flagler (5-1).
 
The Saints trailed the Falcons for the first 10-plus minutes of the first half, but took a 20-19 lead with 10:16 left on a Matthews 12-foot jumper. The Saints would never trail again. A Borstelmann jumper in the lane would give Flagler its biggest lead in the first half, 43-31. The Saints would take a 43-37 lead into the break.
 
A 23-7 run early in the second half pushed the Saints to a 66-46 lead with 10:30 to play. In the run, Flagler made 9-of-14 field goal attempts and the defense held Florida College to 2-of-16 shooting from the floor.
 
However, the Falcons would go on a 16-2 run to cut the deficit to six points (68-62) with just 5:25 to go. The Falcon defense held the Saints to 0-for-6 shooting, including a stretch of 5:50 with no made field goals, and forced four turnovers. In contrast, Florida College sank 5-of-7 shots.
 
The Saints would score the next seven of eight points to put the game away.
 
Tommy Nichols poured in 17 points and dished out seven assists for Florida College (3-4). Jonathan Fox and Tommy Atherton each scored 14 points for the Falcons.
 
Flagler committed 25 turnovers but Florida College could only convert them into 17 points.
