Daytona Beach, FL. – Daytona State (10-4) received several impactful performances throughout the lineup, including a game-high 17 points from sophomore Tanyia Gordon in Wednesday's victory vs. St. Petersburg College 64-48.  The Falcons' forward was 7-for-16 from the floor with five rebounds, three assists, and eight steals to lead the Falcons. 

"I was very pleased with how our team as a whole locked in and accepted the challenge of our defensive goals for the game, when shots weren't falling and the offense was stagnant we found a way to get stops." Head Coach Tron Griffin stated.

The Falcons turned up the defensive pressure early in the second quarter and went on a 14-0 run that led to a 9-point halftime lead. Daytona State scored 25 points for the game off of the Titans' 32 turnovers.
