It's my wife, Susan's 300th win as well, because she has been there for all of them. We will enjoy it for a while. 300 wins really makes the turkey taste much better."
Sharpe has now totaled a coaching record of 300-111 in his 14 seasons overall as a head coach and second year as head coach at UWA.
Rounding out the game, the Tigers finished with 50 percent of their field goals, while posting 85 percent from the free throw line. Lane hit all five of his free throw shots.
"I'm really pleased with the progress we made from Tuesday to tonight. Today we had a really intense practice and worked on ironing some things out, especially offensively. We geared the pace down tonight and our offense was much more efficient. We ended up scoring more points when we slow the pace
down."
With 300 wins under his belt, Sharpe is confident in the Tigers heading into their next home match against Stillman College on Saturday, November 28, at 12 p.m.
