ROME -- The much anticipated milestone has finally been accomplished as the Lady Hawks topped Clark Atlanta 80-67 Tuesday night to give head coach Vic Mitchell his 400th win at Shorter.

The Lady Hawks turned in a well-rounded effort in the win as three players finished in double figures. Ieshia Alexander led the way with 23 points on the night, while Maggie Peeples added 12, and Cynara Pitt chipped in 14. Both, Shaundricka Mann and Jackie Hudson just missed joining the group; turning nine points each.

Mann also tallied 12 rebounds on the night to lead Shorter.

The Lady Hawks kept things close through the first half, taking a 27-26 lead into the intermission. But, the Panthers didn't go down without a fight, taking the lead in the second half and leading by as many as nine. Shorter began chipping away, however, and came back to go ahead for good with 6:35 to play as Pitt netted a free throw to make it a 59-58 game.

The Panthers also had three players finish in double figures; Sydni Davis posted a team high 19, Denissea Law added 17, and Mykala Jones recorded 15.

The Lady Hawks will be back in action Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm when Hiwassee College visits the Winthrop-King Centre.
