PENSACOLA, Fla. – Fanny Hulmi's game-high 17 points led the UWF women's basketball team to a 67-59 victory against West Georgia at the UWF Field House on Friday. It was a complete team effort by the Argos on both sides of the ball, with four players for UWF scoring in double figures.

The teams switched spots in the GSC East Division standings, with the Argos moving into fourth place and the Wolves slipping to fifth.
 
The Argos were nuclear from the tip, having without a doubt their best opening quarter of the season. West Florida scored 18 unanswered points over a stunned Wolves team to start the game. 
 
The seven-minute first quarter scoring drought for the Wolves was finally ended after a layup by Carter. The dominant showing by the Argos led to West Georgia calling two timeouts before the end of the first.

In the second quarter however, the tables would turn for the Argos. UWG would rally back with a 13-0 run of their own.
  
By the end of the first half, West Georgia cut their first quarter deficit to just four points, trailing the Argos 32-28.
 
Lewis led the Argos in scoring at the end of the half, contributing 11 points along with a trio of long-range jumpers.
 
The third quarter saw both teams trading blows in an evenly matched, grind it out slugfest. There was a total of eight lead changes in this quarter alone, with three being the largest lead by any team.
 
Two minutes into the third, a jumper by Carter gave the Wolverines their first lead of the game at 33-32. The quarter would end hotly contested as both sides would be tied 46-46.
 
The final quarter saw the Argos pulling away with the game, as they never trailed for the rest of the game. A pair of free throws by Hulmi in the closing seconds sealed the victory for West Florida, 67-59.
 
The teams will play again on Saturday at 3 p.m.
