JCSU's bench scoring (35-11) helped the Golden Bulls keep control in the second half despite a surge by St. Aug that saw them cut JCSU's lead to single digits midway through the final period.

The Falcons were lid by Rashad George with 21 points and Tyre Gathright with 20. Craig McDaniel tossed in 11 points for SAU.

The victory pushes the Golden Bulls to 7-13 overall, 4-9 in the CIAA and 3-4 in the Southern Division.
