TEMPLE TERRACE, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle men's basketball team extended its record to 3-0 with a 91-76 road win over Florida College on Friday. The fast-paced, high-intensity contest saw the Eagles shoot 52.5 percent from the floor, including a 60 percent clip in the first half.

Denver Cobb led the Eagle scoring with 20 points, shooting 7-for-12 from the field with three three-pointers and three makes in four attempts from the free throw line. Denny Joseph contributed 16 points of the bench, while Ryan Exter added 15 points and handed out six assists. Drew Whittaker led all players on the boards, pulling down 11 rebounds to go with his five points on the night.

The Eagles raced out to a 55-38 half-time lead behind 15 points by Cobb, who shot five-for-seven from the field and converted on two of his three attempts from three-point range.

The Falcons clawed their way back into the game in the second half using a 14-2 scoring run and taking advantage of 11 Eagle turnovers to pull within four points. Jonathan Fox, who played 39 minutes, had the hot hand in the second half scoring 18 of his game-high 26 points in that frame.

But the Eagles withstood the onslaught and regained their scoring rhythm and with 9:07 left on the clock, they scored 10 unanswered for a 12-point cushion. The Blue and Gold held the Falcons to just nine points over the last 5:03 and Tyler DeBord, who picked up his fourth foul less than two minutes into the second half, sealed the win with an exclamation point on a dunk off a long feed from Whittaker with just 12 seconds remaining.

ERAU's next contest will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 11 when they host the Falcons in a rematch at the ICI Center.
