ABOUT THOMAS

The Night Hawks are coming off a 65-59 loss at Webber International (Fla.) on Wednesday in Warner's (Fla.) Turner Athletic Center in league play. The Warriors ended a three-game losing streak to the Green and White.

Thomas' Arianna Anderson posted her third-straight double-double with a career-high 20 points and 11 rebounds.

The double-double was the seventh of Anderson's career. She finished 8-of-14 from the floor to go along with three steals. De'Audra Copeland chipped in 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Dymon Brown added 13 points, five boards and five steals. Daycia Bandy hauled in nine rebounds and dished out five assists. Kriza Allen had four steals.

Thomas committed 34 turnovers, while the Warriors had 31.

Down 21-11 less than two minutes into the second quarter, the Night Hawks responded by outscoring Webber International 16-6 the rest of the half to send both teams into the locker room tied at 27 following a D. Brown offensive rebound and putback as time expired.

Leading 31-29 in the third quarter, Webber International used an 11-0 spurt in a span of 1:52 to open up the affair. The Warriors outscored Thomas 26-11 in the period to lead 53-38 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Night Hawks made a late push in the final frame. Trailing by 21 points, an 11-0 run, which ended with an Anderson bucket in the paint, brought Thomas within 61-51 at the 2:27 mark. A Copeland layup with 35 seconds to go trimmed the margin to single digits, and a D. Brown trey with five second on the clock cut the difference to six, but the Green and White would get no closer.

Wednesday's game was moved to Warner due to ongoing renovations to Webber International's Sabbagh Athletic Center.
