BATON ROUGE, La. – The Prairie View A&M softball team (12-12, 9-4 SWAC) was unable to overcome self-inflicted wounds as well as a fast start from Southern, falling 9-1 Saturday afternoon during Southwestern Athletic Conference action at Lady Jaguars Field.

How it Happened:
Southern jumped ahead to a 4-0 lead after the first inning, leaving the Lady Panthers having to fight from behind. Jeah Williams cut into the Lady Jaguars' lead with a RBI single in the second inning that scored Cameron Lavergne, but outside of that, Prairie View A&M was unable to get enough done against Southern starting pitcher Aubrion James.

Aided by several miscues from the Prairie View A&M defense, the Lady Jaguars put up three runs in the third inning and added a pair of runs in the fifth to pull away.

Key Stats:
Williams, Brianna Grays, Kimberly Hernandez and Alyssa Garcia had one hit each. Mya Hall was charged with the loss after allowing four earned runs. PVAMU committed five errors in the game.

Next Up:
The Lady Panthers are back at it tomorrow, facing Southern in doubleheader action. Game one begins at 12 p.m.
