MARIANNA, Fla. (November 8, 2012) - FCSAA No. 3 Tallahassee Community College passed its first major test of the 2012-13 season, defeating No. 6 Santa Fe College, 69-60, on day one of the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report Classic in Marianna, Fla. 

Tallahassee improved to 3-0 with the win while previously 3-0 Santa Fe (3-1) suffered its first loss of the season.
