Saturday, Riddle journeyed from Lakeland to Sarasota to face New College of Florida. It was also a one-sided game, this time in the Eagles’ favor as they won 93-69. Peter Dress posted 21 points. Dahl came close to a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds. Macken and Noah Gifft both tallied 14 points, and Canalin and Christian Wells both recorded ten points and combined for 16 assists.
The Eagles are now 6-4 on the season.
