PENSACOLA, Fla.– UWF had three players score in double figures and held Shorter to its third-lowest shooting game of the season in a 68-44 win at the UWF Field House Thursday night.
 
Toni Brewer had 16 points and 11 rebounds for her 12th double-double, while Halee Nieman had 14 and Fanny Hulmi added 10 for UWF (12-4, 6-3 Gulf South).
 
UWF shot 43 percent and outrebounded Shorter 51-30. The Argos had 14 points from 18 offensive rebounds.
 
Shorter got out to an 8-3 lead in the first quarter before UWF came back on the strength of an 11-2 run for a 14-10 lead after the opening 10 minutes. From there it was all UWF as the Blue and White outscored the Hawks 21-9 for a 35-19 halftime advantage.
 
The defense was on full display by limiting Shorter to just two field goals in the second quarter and two in the third. The Hawks made just 4-of-33 from the floor for 12 percent in the middle 25:09 minutes of play.
 
All 12 players who dressed saw playing time with 10 of them scoring.
 
Shorter (1-14, 0-8) dropped its 11th-consecutive game and was led in scoring by Jasmine Gaines with a game-high 18 points on 6-of-13 shooting.
