MONTGOMERY, Ala.- The Shorter Men's Basketball team dropped a heartbreaker to AUM at the AUM Athletics Complex Tuesday night in an 86-84 final. The loss drops the Hawks to 2-4 overall.  

The Hawks dominated the opening minutes, taking a 12-5 lead after Donovan Shangase scored on back-to-back possessions. Shorter's offense continued to soar, going on another massive run to take a 33-14 lead at the 8:17 mark. The hosts eventually found the bottom of the net, responding on a 15-1 run to bring them to within five. Shorter managed to hold on to the lead, entering the half in front 45-36.

The hosts managed to climb their way back into the contest, going on a 17-4 run to take the 66-62 lead. The final minutes proved to be a back-and-forth affair between both sides, as several lead changes occurred. Ja'Myas Davis knocked in a clutch three with a minute left to give the Hawks the 84-81 lead. The WarHawks converted on a layup to cut the deficit to one on the very next possession. After an empty possession from Shorter, the hosts connected on a three with just 12 seconds remaining to regain the lead. The Hawks had one more chance, but came up short on a missed jumper as Shorter dropped the contest in a heartbreaking 86-84 loss.
