Santa Fe (5-9) hosted Southern Crescent Technical College (3-10) in a nonconference matchup on Friday evening, walking away with a 73-66 victory.

Late in the first half Karmello Branch turned it on with 11 first half points. The Tigers kept things knotted at 31 going into the half. SF put up 42 second half points, as they ran away from the Tigers down the stretch.
