BOX SCORE
 
ROME, Ga. – Delaney Trushel made five 3-pointers and led all players with 18 points as UWF defeated Shorter, 82-66, at the Winthrop-King Centre on Saturday, giving head coach Stephanie Lawrence Yelton her 250th career head coaching victory.
 
UWF (4-1, 1-0 Gulf South) shot 49 percent overall and made 13 shots from outside as they bested Shorter (1-4, 0-1) for the seventh-consecutive time.
 
"This team is fun to coach. They are supportive of each other and share the ball well," said Yelton, who is now 250-206 in her 17th season as a head coach. "We have multiple players who are contributing at a high level."
 
Trushel has made 12-of-18 from outside in the last three games.
 
In addition to Trushel's hot day, Claire Sutherland-Case came off the bench to score 15 points with three triples and five rebounds. The Argonauts' bench contributed 48 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and four steals.
 
Tyashia Bostick and Brooke Kane had 10 apiece, while Jaden Langford pulled down a game-high nine rebounds to go with six points.
 
After falling behind 7-1, the Argos went on a 10-2 run thanks to long balls from Trushel and Bella Stone. UWF claimed an 11-9 lead on its way to a 23-13 lead at the first quarter break. The teams played even in the second quarter as UWF held a 32-22 edge at the half.
 
The lead stretched to 62-42 after the third and the Argos cruised to the victory.
 
UWF will make the short trip north to Cleveland, Tennessee for a Monday match-up against Lee (2-2, 1-0). Tip-off at Walker Arena is set for 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
