ROME, Ga. – Toni Brewer led UWF with 20 points and Katie Bobos had a double-double as the Argonauts defeated Shorter, 76-54 at the Winthrop-King Centre Saturday.
 
UWF (10-2, 5-1 Gulf South) won its fourth-consecutive game overall and its third as many tries at Shorter. The Argos also improved to 4-1 on the road while handing the Hawks their largest home loss in just over two seasons.
 
UWF shot a season-high 52 percent and was 5-of-8 from both the 3-point and free throw lines. The Argos never trailed and controlled the paint on offense with a 46-18 scoring edge and a 43-34 margin on the glass and five blocks.
 
Bobos made five of her first seven shots to finish with 14 points and 11 rebounds for her third-straight double-double. Katie O'Neal made 4-of-5 shots after halftime as 12 of her 14 came in the final 20 minutes. Alex Coyne added eight points and seven assists, while Courtney Meyer collected 11 rebounds, four blocks and six points.
 
"I was pleased with our persistence of staying in our offense, staying with our defensive game plan," UWF coach Stephanie Lawrence Yelton said. "We talked about containing them off the dribble and moving the ball on offense and once we settled in on that, we played some good basketball."
 
Shorter (6-4, 3-3) shot just 31 percent – its second-lowest effort this season. The Argos held the Hawks to 30 percent from outside on 7-of-23 shooting. Taylor Adams scored a game-high 22 in 30 minutes but was the only Hawks player to score more than six points. Adams, one of the top players in the GSC, came in averaging five offensive rebounds and just over 10 free throw attempts per game and had just two offensive boards and was 5-of-6 at the line. She also had just three points on 1-of-6 shooting in the second half.
 
The Argos scored the first six points in the contest and never trailed the entire first half. The Hawks tied it at 6 before UWF ended the first quarter with a 12-9 lead. Shorter closed to within one point in the second period before UWF eventually surged ahead with a 10-0 run, grabbing a 38-27 lead on an steal and fastbreak layup from Imani Mulmore with 1:30 on the clock.
 
UWF had another big run to close the third quarter and extended the margin to 58-40 at that point. The lead ballooned to 23 late in the fourth before the final margin was established.
 
UWF will travel to Cleveland, Tennessee on Monday night for a contest at No. 24 Lee (9-3, 4-2). Tip-off at Walker Arena is set for 4:00 p.m. ET.
