Panthers Cruise Past Edward Waters, 63-61, In Conference Road Victory

Clark Atlanta earns bounce back victory over Edwards Waters

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The Clark Atlanta men's basketball team earned its 11th victory of the season with a 63-61 road win over Edward Waters on Monday evening. The Panthers improved to 11-6 overall and 8-2 in SIAC play, led by Shemani Fuller, who scored a team-high 16 points.

Dez'Mond Perkins paced the Panthers with eight points in the first half, but Clark Atlanta trailed 35-27 at the break. A poor shooting performance in the first half proved costly, as the Panthers shot just 39% compared to 51% in the second half.

Edward Waters' lead ballooned to 10 points at the 18:30 mark of the second half, sparking a comeback by the Panthers. The teams traded baskets evenly until they were tied at 51 just before the under-eight media timeout. Edward Waters then hit a pair of free throws, but Fuller responded with a 3-pointer to give Clark Atlanta its first lead of the night, 54-53, with just under seven minutes remaining.

Fuller and Jalen Williams combined for nine points down the stretch to help complete the comeback and secure the 63-61 victory.

Clark Atlanta's bench played a key role, outscoring Edward Waters' reserves 18-7. The Panthers also dominated the paint, outscoring the Tigers 38-34 and controlling the boards with 20 second-chance points compared to just four for Edward Waters.
Fuller led the Panthers with 16 points, followed by Jalen Williams with 13, Dez'Mond Perkins with 12, and a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double from Martez Jones.
