FORT PIERCE, Fla. – On the second half of a back-to-back, Santa Fe women's basketball had a tough test at No. 19 Indian River State College, and the Pioneers were able to run away with an 86-48 win in the first of two scheduled matchups between the team this season.  

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Saints got off to a slow start and fell into an early 13-0 hole on the road.

SF started to find some rhythm offensively to score the next seven points, and were still within striking distance at the half, trailing 39-27.

Indian River, however, pulled away in the second half and held SF to just four points in the final frame.
