PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas- The Prairie View A&M Lady Panthers (15-8, 10-1 SWAC) had a 12-game winning streak snapped with a 70-60 loss to the Jackson State Lady Tigers (12-10, 10-2 SWAC) in overtime. The Lady Panthers held a ten point advantage at 54-44 with 3:57 remaining in the contest. From that point JSU managed to go on a 12-2 run which was sparked by Dequisha Davis three point basket at the 3:38 mark of the half.

Jackson State went on to bring the game to a 56 all tie with fifteen seconds left to play in regulation. Prairie View A&M would subsequently answer taking a two point lead after a successful Candice Thomas lay-up with seven ticks left on the game clock.

The Lady Tigers weren’t quite ready to concede a PVAMU victory as they battled back to tie the game on an Erlexis Cooper lay-up as the game clock expired. The overtime period was all JSU as the Lady Tigers went on to outscore Prairie View A&M 12-to-2, in what was the games final stanza.
