NORMAL, Ala. – Four Prairie View A&M players scored in double figures as the Lady Panthers claimed their fourth consecutive win Saturday with a 67-52 triumph at Alabama A&M.

Larissa Scott scored a team-high 16 points on 8-of-13 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds to lead the Lady Panthers (9-8), who improved to 5-3 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.

Monique Abbs scored 13 points in her third consecutive start for the Lady Panthers. Lamaria Cole added 12 points for Prairie View A&M; both players were 5-of-9 from the field. Tori Carter scored 10 points off the Prairie View A&M bench.

Janie Myles scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds to lead Alabama A&M (3-15, 2-6 SWAC). Nashaye Sutton came off the bench to score 15 points for the Lady Bulldogs.

The Lady Panthers complete their first round of conference games Monday at Alabama State. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 at the Dunn-Oliver Acadome on the Alabama State campus.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
The Lady Panthers claimed the lead for good early in the first quarter when Abbs knocked down a 3-pointer at the 8:36 mark of the first quarter to pull PVAMU ahead 3-2. The team then used a 10-2 run between the 4:52 and 1:05 marks of the opening period to claim their first 10-point lead at 18-8. The Lady Bulldogs scored the last seven points of the quarter to pull to within three.

Alabama A&M kept close with the Lady Panthers for the first half of the second period, cutting the deficit to 26-22 on Brooke Dixon's layup with 5:23 remaining. However, the Lady Panthers flexed their collective muscles from that point, finishing the half on a 12-3 run to take a 38-25 lead into halftime. PVAMU outscored the Lady Bulldogs 18-4 in the paint and 6-0 in fast-break points during the second quarter.

Prairie View A&M matched its largest lead of the game at 17 points when Lanikki McMillian drained a 3-pointer 23 seconds into the final quarter to stretch the visitors' lead to 55-38.

Alabama A&M went on a 7-0 run and cut the Lady Panthers' lead to 55-45 with 7:17 left to play in the game, but the Lady Panthers would not allow them to get any closer. A pair of baskets by Parker and McMillian between the 5:12 and 4:28 marks stretched the lead back to 14 points at 61-47. PVAMU's lead never dipped into single-digits throughout the second half.
