UCF Secures 74-59 Victory Over Cal Baptist With Dominant Second Half

The Knights used a decisive 15-0 run and strong defensive play to overcome a slow start and secure their second consecutive win.

UCF improved to 6-2 on the season with a 74-59 win over California Baptist, led by Keyshawn Hall's 15 points and Darius Johnson's seven steals.
The Knights broke open a tied game early in the second half with a 15-0 run, highlighted by key contributions from Hall, JJ Taylor, and Nils Machowski.
Dominique Daniels Jr. carried Cal Baptist with a game-high 33 points but received little support, as no other Lancer scored more than six points.
