TBC Eagles Men's Basketball got double-digit scoring from three players with one closing in on 1,000 career points as the Eagles battled the Timberwolves of Florida Gateway College Tuesday night in Lake City.

The game remained very tight for nearly the entire time until the Timberwolves pulled away late in the second half on route to a 79-68 win.

Diego Fernandez led all players on the court with 21 points on a 7-for-17 performance from the field. Fernandez also drained 4 three-point shots and 3 of four 4 throws to put up his game high total.

Jace Spinelli scored 12 points off the bench by hitting 3 three-pointers of his own plus a deuce and a foul shot.
