LEESBURG, Fl. – Beacon College picked up a win in its NSAC opener Friday night with a 99-91 victory over USCAA 8th-ranked Atlantis.

The Blazers (2-7 overall, 1-0) jumped out early lead that ballooned to 15 points. The Atlanteans began to claw back toward the end of the first half, trimming the deficit to 50-41 at the intermission.

Emerging from halftime, Atlantis (4-5, 1-1) showcased a renewed spirit and tenacity. Demonstrating heightened defensive pressure, the visitors turned the tides momentarily and retook the lead, but the Blazers quickly reclaimed control of the game expanding their lead back to double digits. AU mounted a fierce comeback as the clock wound down, reducing the gap to just four points. However, a flurry of late fouls proved detrimental, allowing Beacon to methodically extend their lead through free throws, sealing the hard-fought victory.

This loss marks the fourth consecutive setback for Atlantis after four straight wins.
