JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Senior guard Kamrin Oriol notched his ASUN career high for the second-straight game, but North Florida Men's Basketball ultimately fell to Queens (NC), 89-82, at UNF Arena on Saturday.

Oriol turned in 29 points on 12-21 from the field, in addition to four assists and three rebounds in 39 minutes. It marked the second-straight and eighth game this season with 20 or more points for Oriol.

Sophomore guard Kent Jackson added 16 points, his 11th game with 10 or more points this season, in 33 minutes. Freshman guard/forward Trey Cady turned in 11 points on 4-7 from the field in 12 minutes off the bench.

The margin was tied at 10-10 at the initial first-half media timeout at the 13:33 minute mark. A three from graduate student guard/forward Dalton Gayman and a pair of free throws from Cady pushed the lead to 15-10 for North Florida out of the timeout.

Consecutive scores from Jackson secured a 22-16 lead for North Florida at the under-eight minute media timeout in the first half.

Queens responded with five unanswered points to put its advantage to 75-68 with 4:08 minutes left in the second half. Jackson and freshman guard/forward BJ Plummer buried back-to-back three-pointers with under three minutes left in regulation, though Queens converted at the charity stripe down the stretch to bring the score to its final margin.
