SU Lady Jaguars roar past Grambling for seventh straight win

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern women’s basketball team lost at Grambling four weeks ago when it couldn’t hold on to a late lead.

The Jaguars made sure that didn’t happen in the rematch Saturday afternoon in the F.G. Clark Activity Center. They opened a 14-point lead in less than 12 minutes and maintained a double-digit margin the rest of the way in an 80-52 victory.

Southern won its seventh consecutive game to improve to 8-2 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and 10-10 overall. It hosts Jackson State on Monday.

The Lady Tigers, who used a 12-4 finishing run to win by a point in the first meeting, are 4-6 and 7-14.

The Jaguars played one of their most efficient offensive games of the season, matching their season-high for points against an NCAA opponent and surpassing their previous high in a SWAC game by three points.
