DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Interstat) — A surging Daytona State squad will look to continue its dominant Citrus Conference run when it hosts a Miami Dade team seeking consistency on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

The Falcons (13-4) have won 10 of their last 12 games and are coming off a 95-79 road victory over Indian River State on Jan. 21. They are powered by standout guard Noah Mendy, who is averaging 22.5 points per game over his last four contests. Mendy erupted for 36 points and eight rebounds in the win over Indian River.

Daytona State’s high-powered offense has scored 95 or more points in three of its last five games. CJ Hall (15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists) and Tyrese Lacey (15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) provided key support in the latest victory.

The visiting Miami Dade Sharks (5-6) have alternated wins and losses over their past five games. They are fresh off a 76-58 home win over Polk State on Saturday, where Anthony Breland led the way with 20 points and four assists in 25 minutes.

Breland has been a consistent force for the Sharks, scoring at least 18 points in each of his last five games, including a 23-point performance in a win over Eastern Florida State on Jan. 7. Support from Leeroy Nijean (9 rebounds vs. Polk State) and Anthony Gilkes (12 points) will be crucial against the conference front-runner.

The game will tip off at 7 p.m. EST and be broadcast on WDSC-TV. This is the first of two regular-season meetings between the teams; they will meet again in Miami on Feb. 28.

Daytona State visits Hillsborough on Saturday, Jan. 31. Miami Dade’s next game is at Hillsborough on Wednesday, Feb. 4.
