GAME NOTES
Prairie View A&M starts it journey to make up ground in the Southwestern Athletic Conference at 3 p.m. Saturday in a game against a struggling but dangerous Grambling State squad.

The Lady Panthers will not overlook a 5-18 Grambling team that has a 3-8 SWAC record and is led by the SWAC's leading scorer Joanna Miller. 

The 5-8 junior helped Grambling split a pair of games last week. She averaged 24.5 points, eight rebounds, and 2.5 assists, while shooting 38 percent from the floor, including 50 percent from three-point range. In the 83-81 double overtime loss to Southern, Miller recorded a double-double scoring a game-high, 32 points, while hauling in 11 boards. She helped the Lady Tigers bounce back with a 57-46 win at Alcorn State. For the game, she posted 17 points and five rebounds.

Prairie View A&M limited Miller's touches and effectiveness on Jan. 12 when the Lady Panthers Dominated Grambling State in a 78-59 win in the William Nicks Building. Miller  was held to nine points on 30 percent shooting.

On the offensive end against the Lady Tigers, Prairie View A&M had four players score in double figures, led by seniors Kiara Etienne and Latia Williams. Etienne scored a team-high 22 points while Williams dropped 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds en route to her sixth double-double of the season. Prairie View looks to repeat its offensive efficiency from that game as scored a season-high in points while shooting 44 percent from the field. Williams is averaging 13.8 points and 9.1 rebounds this season as the SWAC's second-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder.

The Lady Panthers had their third-lowest scoring output of the season in their most recent loss against Texas Southern on Feb. 2. Prairie View A&M was outscored 51-46 in a game that went down to the wire. Prairie View A&M (8-12, 5-5 SWAC) currently sits at fifth in the conference standings behind fourth place Alabama A&M (6-5) and third place Mississippi Valley State (7-5).
