WEST PALM BEACH, Florida - The American International College men's basketball team fell 88-63 to Palm Beach Atlantic University on Thursday, December 18.

AIC is now 2-8 on the season. 

AIC fell behind early, but a Tony Felder three cut the deficit to 5-4 just shy of the two-minute mark. The host Sailfish, undefeated through their first 10 games, built up their edge from there, taking a 10-point advantage eight and a half minutes in on a three-point make, and led by as much as 18 down the stretch. Ultimately, that margin was what they took into the locker room, with a 45-27 score on the board at halftime.

Aguibou Balde made the second half's first field goal, but the Sailfish continued to control the game, stretching the lead to 26 with a triple near the five-minute mark. They held off AIC from there, earning the 88-63 win.

Aleksy Walczak was AIC's lone scorer in double figures, with 10 points. Felder dished five assists.

The Yellow Jackets have a quick turnaround as they next face Saint Leo University on Friday, December 19 at 3:00 p.m.
