GRAMBLING, La. - The Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers are gearing up to face off against, the Grambling State Lady Tigers, in a highly anticipated volleyball showdown on Sunday, October 13, 2024. With a current season record of 7-13 and a strong 4-1 record in the SWAC, the Lady Panthers are poised to maintain their conference momentum at the upcoming away clash.
