EFSC Titans Make It 3 in a Row and Roll Past Daytona
It was another scorching Saturday for the Eastern Florida State College women’s squad, as the Titans swept away Daytona State with an 85‑38 wall‑opener, their third straight victory.
Fast Start, Fast Finish
With a blistering 16‑4 lead after the opening quarter, the Titans’ offense had Daytona scrambling before the clock even hit 18 minutes. Every single player added to the scoreboard, proof that a good team is just a group of people who all know how to fire. The Titans stayed ahead, turning their first‑quarter 16‑8 advantage into a 36‑17 juggernaut by the end of the second.
- ⏱ Nia Santiago lit the scoreboard in 2nd: 6 of 8 points in that quarter alone.
- Euro‑style shot‑crowding continued, but the Viera Elementary cheer squad brought the atmosphere to its highest point in season‑long attendance.
Third Quarter Soul‑Crash
After the halftime show, the Titans kept firing. Claudia Jimenez and Marta Vieira dropped a quick hit of 3‑point magic right off the word. Jalei O’Neal then batted six straight layups, grabbing 8 of her 10 points before the quarter’s end.
Final Rush and Florida‑Friendly Crowd
In the fourth nothing cracked the Titans’ pace. Karen Nimo went all‑out, snagging 10 points in the last stretch – a team‑high of 12 for the game – while the squad poured in another 31 points for a solid finish.
39‑Game Streak Grows
The win was the 39th consecutive triumph at Titan Field House, showing the unstoppable march of the EFSC women’s basketball team.
A Look Ahead
Next up: a home showdown against Miami Dade College on Wednesday night. The game starts at 5:30 p.m. and will stream live on WEFS‑TV (channel 9), or hit the typical Spectrum/DirecTV/Dish/AT&T feeds for a view from anywhere. The evening doubles as Alumni Game Day, complete with halftime festivities and giveaways—fair play, all the tickets are free.
That’s the line‑up: 39 straight, three wins in a row, 85‑38 kill, and a fan‑friendly finale. The Titans keep rolling, and the fans keep loving it.
