BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Eastern Florida’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, both riding impressive winning streaks, hit the road Saturday as the Florida College System Activities Association Southern Conference grind continues.
The men, 19-1 overall, 2-0 in conference and ranked seventh nationally by the NJCAA, second nationally in the computer-generated Massey Ratings and second in Florida visit Miami Dade College (13-7 and 1-1) for a 2 p.m. tip off in Kendall.
The women, 13-5 overall, 4-0 in conference and ranked seventh in Florida and 16th nationally in the Massey Ratings, travel to Lake Worth for a 2 p.m. game against Palm Beach State (5-12 and 3-1).
