The Lady Panthers snapped a four-game losing streak Saturday when they opened SWAC play with a 58-54 win over Alcorn State. The Lady Panthers fell behind 10-0 in the game's first four minutes, but recovered by scoring 14 of the next 16 points; they put the game out of reach in the third quarter with a 17-5 run.

Prairie View A&M and Southern have faced each other 75 times since the NCAA began sponsoring women's basketball at the start of the 1981-82 season. The Jaguars lead the series 55-20, and are 7-3 in the last 10 games. Over the past two seasons, the Lady Panthers and Jaguars have faced each other six times, including the postseason SWAC Tournament. Prairie View A&M is looking for its first win over Southern since a 72-43 triumph in the SWAC semifinal round in 2014.

The Panthers are coming off a tough loss to Alcorn State in its SWAC opener on Saturday night. The Panthers are still looking for their first win of the season as Alcorn State escaped with a win on Saturday thanks to a late run in the closing minute.  Sophomore forward Zach Hamilton had a career night as he led the Panthers with a 31-point performance while Jordan Giddings and Admassu Williams chipped in with 10 points apiece.

Southern has won nine of the past 10 games over the Panthers dating back to 2012. PVAMU's lone win over SU during that span occurred during the 2014 SWAC Tournament. The Panthers have not defeated Southern in Prairie View since March 5, 2011.
