All five starters scored in double figures as Ida Baker pulled away from District 5A-15 rival Cape Coral for a 72-58 victory Friday night at Baker.

The teams waged a thriller earlier this season with Cape prevailing 79-76 in overtime. The Seahawks got off to a fast start Friday, draining 7-of-10 three-point attempts in the first half.

The Bulldogs (16-8, 6-2) countered by finishing the half on a 10-2 run, which gave them a three-point halftime lead.

In the second half, the Bulldogs took control in large part due to their size, defense and passing ability. They finished with 25 assists.

Gabe Rodriguez led the Bulldogs with 19 points. John Skinner had 16 points and 10 rebounds and Zach Campbell tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds. Xavier Battle recorded 11 points and 10 assists.

The Seahawks (15-7, 4-4) were led by Joel Hill, who had 23 points, and Yoko Roldan, who nailed four three-pointers and finished with 20 points.

The victory enabled the Bulldogs to secure the No. 2 seed in the district tournament, which they host.
