Falcons Push Past Pirates

Folsom Lake College continues its string of dominant defensive performances against a solid Modesto Junior College team, allowing just 36 points with a 54-36 victory. Over the last three games the Falcons have given up an average of 39 points per game, while outscoring their opponents by over 20 points. It is the standard of great half court defense, something that they have hung their hats on all year long. The Falcons are 10th in the state in points per game allowed at 51.2, and 8th overall in opponent's field goal percentage at 32.3%.

This all started from the jump as FLC held Modesto to three first quarter points, and 13 total by halftime.
