The Resurrection: Lady Jags break their losing streak, top Tigers at home

With a three game losing streak hanging over their heads and post play drawing near, the Southern University Lady Jaguars squared off against JSU in a must win game. The lady Jags, coming off a 7-point loss to their rival GSU, played with much more intensity hosting the lady Tigers.
Head coach Pugh was quoted after the GSU game saying “The game today came down to a couple of things. Hustle, execution and leadership” and against JSU, they were just that. After a few secret meetings from outside sources the ladies rose to the challenge. The Southern Jags filled with determination came out and shock SU supporters, outscoring JSU by 21 points in this clash of rivals (81-60).
Everything was clicking tonight for the Lady jags, especially for Forward Briana Green who scored a season high of 31 points on 14 of 20 shooting from the field; including one shot from behind the arc. Green recovered 9 total rebounds, 5 of which came from the offensive side of the ball. She tallied 2 assists recording 3 steals in 31 minutes.
To compliment Green’s play, Guard Skylar O’Bear recorded 4 assists, 6 rebounds and 11 points of her own. The bench had totaled 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 total assists on the night. As a team the Lady Jags shot 48.6 percent from the field in the first half but 53.1 percent in the second. As well as their high scoring, the Southern University Jags collected 42 total rebounds, dished out a total of 21 assisted, ripped out 9 steals, and rejected 7 of JSU total shots.
The lady Jags will have to carry their motivation and determination to their next game as they take on the lady Lions of the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff in Arkansas. The last 2 games played away from Baton Rouge favored the opponent in single digit deficit. This is also their first meeting of the season between the two teams so the lady Jags will look to close out their two game losing streak on the road.
