Warhawks bounce back, end losing streak

The Warhawks finished this past weekend with two conference wins. The 76-65 win against the North Texas Lady Eagles put a halt to the War­hawks four-game losing streak. North Texas’ Den­etra Kellum led all scores with 19 but it proved not to be enough.

The Warhawks put a clamp on the Lady eagles in the first half holding them to only 29 shooting from the field, the War­hawks ended the half on a 13-0 run equaling their biggest lead of the half. The Warhawks stretched their lead to 18 with 11:11 to play and never looked back going on to win. Sannisha Williams led the Hawks with 17 points and 12 rebounds, while senior guard Eliza­beth Torres finished with 15 point and 5 assist.

The Warhawks then took their winning ways to Lafayette to square off against the Lady Cajuns in the Cajun dome on Saturday. All five War­hawks starters finished with double digits beat­ing the Lady Cajuns 75- 65.

The Warhawks had a great shooting night, shooting 50.9 from the field. But the Warhawks took only a four-point lead into half time end­ing the half on a 10-2 run. They stretched their lead throughout the sec­ond half lead by Priscilla Mbiandja and Elizabeth Torres’ team high 14 points. The Warhawks are 10-10 for the season and 4-3 in Sunbelt play. They plan on continuing their winning ways on the road against Arkansas State Wednesday night.
