- Tori Baggett scored 21 to help the Saints snap a five game losing streak
November 19, 2013
Tori Baggett lead an inspired Santa Fe effort on Tuesday evening, scoring 21 points to lead the Saints past Albany Technical College 60-49. The win snaps a five game SF losing streak and gives the team momentum heading into their matchup with Tallahassee CC on Friday.
The Saints trailed 7-4 in the early going but a well-timed timeout by Coach Chanda Stebbins led to a 12-0 run to put SF up 16-7. Albany slowed the Santa Fe offense over the rest of the half but trailed 34-22 at the break thanks in part to a 19% field goal percentage over the first 20 minutes.
The Titans started the second half on an 8-0 run sparked by two Ashley Towns three pointers. The Saints answered right back and pushed the lead out to a game high 16 with 8:28 remaining. Albany Tech again rallied, this time outscoring SF 15-3 over a five minute stretch to cut the deficit to 53-49.
Tori Baggett stopped the Titan rally with a three point play on a made layup and the Saints held Albany scoreless over the final three minutes to collect the 60-49 win.
Baggett led Santa Fe in scoring and rebounding, pulling down eight boards on the night. Jocelyn Mousty finished with eight points and five rebounds, and Ifti Dunne scored seven.
