BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Shequana Harris scored 17 points and Florida Tech (4-1) remained undefeated on its home court as the Panthers defeated Webber International (3-6) 84-66 Saturday afternoon at the Clemente Center.

DeLise Williams notched 10 points, four assists and two steals while Kareese Johnson chipped in a career-high 10 points and three steals.
