Second-Half Surge Fuels the Win

Miles Sparks the Bench with a Big Night

Carter Miles provided a major lift off the bench, scoring 15 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in 17 high-energy minutes. Miles’ ability to rebound and draw contact played a pivotal role in Solano edging Sacramento City on the glass, 44–37.

Falcons’ Defense Clamps Down Late

Solano forced key turnovers in the closing minutes, holding Sacramento City to just 44 points after halftime despite a strong effort from Panthers guard Jaydon Bonds, who led all Sacramento scorers with 21 points.

Balanced Contribution Across the Roster

Eleven different Falcons found the scoring column, and Solano won despite making fewer field goals thanks to superior rebounding, interior scoring, and free-throw efficiency.
