IN BRIEF: Jay Melendez scored 14 points to lead three in double figures on Saturday as the Apprentice School lost 75-61 to Florida National in the final game of the Northwood University English Family Classic.

ON THE COURT

  • The Builders held a lead for the majority of the first half as a pair of Jamal Curry free throws at the 17 minute mark gav them a 13-6 advantage.
  • Florida National worked back into the game and tied it on a free throw from Yves Goedschalk with 6:17 left at 28-all.  A 3-pointer from Regan O'Rourke put the Conquistadors on top 29-26 for an advantage they held the rest of the half.
  • Apprentice School opened the second half scoring 11 of the first 13 points to take a 43-39 lead on a 3-pointer from Melendez with 16:56 left.  They increased that advantage to 10 at 57-47 on a Johnnie Ferebee jumper with 9:28 left.
  • From that point, the Conquistadors went on a 16-0 run over the next 4:09 to lead 63-57 on a Goedschalk jumper with 5:17 left.  In fact that run eventually turned into a 28-4 spurt to close the game.
