Cleveland, Tenn. -- The Lady Hawks got back into the win column Saturday afternoon, topping longtime rival, Lee University 3-1, on the road.

The Lady Hawks jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, winning the first sets by 27-25 and 25-20 scores, respectively. Lee came back in the third set to cut the lead in half with a 25-18 win. Before, Shorter closed out the victory with a 25-22 win in set four.

Both teams tallied six service aces on the afternoon, while the Lady Hawks were dominant at the net with 13 blocks.

Tiffani Estep led the effort, posting a team high 12 kills with a game high 8 blocks. While, Madeline Munroe added 11 kills and Morgan Cleveland chipped in with 10. Kelsi Jones added a game high, three aces, to go along with eight kills and five blocks.
