The Hawks have won two consecutive matches over UWG, sweeping last year's series, although UWG had won three consecutive matches over Shorter prior to the 2021 season.
 
On Saturday, the Wolves trek to Cleveland, Tennessee to take on a Lee (2-14, 0-4 GSC) team that has lost nine straight contests and has only won one game on their home floor at Walker Arena.
