Hawks Roll Past Peace 
December 16, 2006

MURFREESBORO - Six players scored in double-figures as the Hawks rolled to a 90-51 victory over Peace College this afternoon. Nine different Chowan players scored in the game as they shot 50% from the floor. Today's 90 points is the team's highest point total to this point this season.

Chowan took a decisive 40-21 lead into the half and thanks to a 19 of 40 shooting performance from the floor in the second half they out scored the Pacers 45-30 to take the 90-51 win. The Hawks committed just 15 turnovers in the game and forced 28 Peace turnovers which amounted to 38 points for the Hawks. Paced by Katie Norris with 12 rebounds of her own, the Hawks won the battle of the boards 42 to 26. 

"It was a good win coming off the Thursday night thriller over UNC-Pembroke," stated Head Coach Patrick Mashuda. "We were able to play with a high level of intensity, control the back board and limit our turnovers. Any time we can put up those numbers we put ourselves in a position to be successful."

Norris notched her first-ever double-double as she scored 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Joining her in double-figures was Joi Hazel who was 7-12 from the floor for 14 points and 4 assists. AJ O'Bannion and Tyshaunna Winston each chipped in 13 points while Tameka Christopher had 12 points in the win. 

Chowan will play their final game of 2006 on Monday when they host Lenior-Rhyne College at 4:00pm. They will hit the hard court again on January 6th.
