PRAIRIE VIEW – After a week away from play and a rough November schedule, in which the women's basketball team went 1-5, the Prairie View A&M Panthers will look to start anew in December as they host Huston-Tillotson Wednesday, with a 5:30 p.m. tip.

This will be the 19^th meeting between the two teams, with PVAMU claiming a 14-4 overall record.  In 2019 the Panthers defeated the Lady Rams by the score of 79-60 at the William J. Nicks Building.

In the last two seasons, the Panthers offense has been led by juniors Diana Rosenthal and Kennedy Paul.  Rosenthal leads PVAMU averaging 14.2 points per game, while Kennedy is third on the team with an 8.2 average.

Rosenthal has had double figures in each of the six games played thus far this season.  In a standout performance against Wichita State she scored a second team best of 12 points, with six rebounds, one assist and one steal. Paul also scored double digits for the Panthers with 11 points and three rebounds.

SWAC Player of the Week last week was sophomore Gerlyn Smith, which is second on the team averaging 12.8 points per contest.  Smith leads the team in rebounds averaging 7.8 rebounds per game.  Graduate student Barbara Benson in her first season as a Panther scored a team high of 19 points in the Wichita State contest.  She is averaging 6.5 points per game.

The Panthers will not only host the Lady Rams in a mid-week contest and they will conclude the first week of December, as PVAMU welcomes Southeastern Louisiana to the Baby Dome on Friday for another 5:30 p.m. start.

The games are free to all.  We will be collecting toys for our Annual Toys for Tots drive.  The games can be watched live on the PVPanther Network at pvpanthers.com.  Fans can also follow along via livestats.
