Hawks Beat Bishops on the Road
November 29, 2006

ROCKY MOUNT, NC - The women's basketball team upped their record to 4-2 after a 61-46 come from behind win over North Carolina Wesleyan tonight. Freshman forward AJ O'Bannion poured in a game-high 16 points as the Hawks shot 43% from the floor. 

Trailing by two points with just under eight minutes to play, Tyshaunna Winston gave Chowan the lead 41-40 after hitting two free throws. Winston stole the Bishops ensuing in bounded pass and hit a lay up that helped spark a 13-0 Chowan run that would eventually put the game out of reach for the home standing Bishops. 

Joining O'Bannion in double-figures tonight was sophomore Alicia McMorris who had 12 points to go with 4 assists and 4 steals. Winston came off the bench to score 11 points while senior Joi Hazel contributed 10 points in the win. 

Chowan improves to 4-2 on the year while the Bishops fall to 2-3 on the year. The Hawks will travel to Queens University in Charlotte on Sunday for a 2:00pm tip off before returning to the Helms Center on December 5th when they host Mount Olive at 6:00pm.
