HOUSTON, Texas — Six minutes into Saturday afternoon’s game against Prairie View, Southern women’s coach Sandy Pugh had already used 11 different players.Never shy to make a substitution, Pugh was trying to find the right combination to slow down the three-time defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Panthers.
While it may appear like Pugh has a quick hook when it comes to changing the lineup, the Jaguars have given their coach those options because of the roster’s flexibility.
“I think everyone on this team is capable of playing every position,” said junior Jasmine Jefferson, who led the Jaguars with 22 points Saturday. “Every guard can run every play, and every post can do the same thing.”
Against the Panthers, the different looks helped the Jaguars rally down the stretch for an 88-74 win at the William Nicks Building.
On Monday, Southern (4-5, 1-0) will look to continue that success against Texas Southern (4-8, 1-0). The Tigers beat Alcorn State 69-44 on Saturday.
