PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – The Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers led from start to finish Saturday as they cruised to a 69-50 win over the visiting Delta Devilettes of Mississippi Valley State.
 
Alexus Parker and Shamiya Brooks both turned in double-double performances for the Lady Panthers, while teammate Asha Hampton-Finch scored a career-high 17 points as Prairie View A&M won its second consecutive game and completed a season sweep of Mississippi Valley State.
 
The win improved Prairie View A&M (11-14) to 8-5 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play, which pulled the Lady Panthers into a third-place tie with Alabama State. The Lady Panthers visit the Lady Hornets one week from Monday.
 
Mississippi Valley State (3-22) saw its SWAC record fall to a league-worst 1-13. The Delta Devilettes have yet to win a road game this season.
 
Parker poured in a game-high 18 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds for her third double-double of the season. Parker struggled a bit from the field, shooting 4-of-11, but her attacking style and strong interior play gave her several trips to the free throw line, where she was a perfect 10-of-10.
 
Brooks came off Prairie View A&M's bench and scored 10 points and pulled in 13 rebounds. It was Brooks' 10th consecutive game reaching double-figures in rebounds and her eighth double-double in her last 10 contests. She also blocked five shots in the game.
 
Christina Reed scored 17 points and pulled in eight rebounds for the Delta Devilettes, while Feleshia Walters chipped in 11 points and nine rebounds off the Valley bench.
 
The Delta Devilettes kept pace with their hosts throughout the top half of the first period, but 7-0 Prairie View A&M run between 8:39 and 5:14 marks gave the Lady Panthers a 27-15 lead; from there, the Lady Panthers never saw their lead trimmed to single digits the rest of the afternoon.
 
The Lady Panthers shot 29.7 percent (22 of 74), which was their lowest percentage shooting in a win this season. The home team countered that statistic by getting to the free throw line 29 times, making 24 of those shots for a percentage of 82.8.
 
One factor in the high number of Lady Panthers shots was their dominance on the offensive glass. The home team pulled 24 of their 55 rebounds off the offensive boards; Mississippi Valley State recorded a total of 39 rebounds.
 
The Lady Panthers return to action Monday when they host Arkansas–Pine Bluff. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
