DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Palm Beach Atlantic men's basketball dropped their fifth straight game on Wednesday, falling to Embry-Riddle by a 94-74 final score.  The Sailfish fall to 10-13 with the loss and 4-8 in Sunshine State Conference play.  Embry-Riddle avenges an early-season loss to the 'Fish, and improves to 9-10 overall and 3-8 in SSC play.

The 'Fish struggled on both ends of the court in the first half at the ICI Center, as they were held to 13-for-35 (37 percent) shooting in the first half and only made 1-of-10 shots from long distance.  Embry-Riddle on the other hand shot nearly 50 percent in the first half and took a 41-29 lead into halftime. 

The Eagles put the game away early in the second half, as they came out of the break on a 21 to 6 run, extending their lead to 62-37, and never looking back.  Embry-Riddle extended their lead to as many as 26 in the second half on their way to the 20-point victory. 

The Sailfish had three players finish in double figures, as Bakari Warthen, Grant Gullett, and Marshall Riddle finished with 10 points each to lead PBA in scoring.  Warthen finished his night with six rebounds as well, and his dunk with six seconds to play in the first half put the junior at 1,000 points for his career with the Sailfish.

Michael Stones, making just his third start of the season, scored nine points for the 'Fish, while Dakota Zinser and De'Ondre Jackson finished with eight points each on the night.
