BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern women’s basketball team appeared headed to an easy victory against Grambling in the Jaguars’ Southwestern Athletic Conference home opener Saturday night in the F.G. Clark Activity Center.But the Tigers, who like the Jaguars entered with a 2-0 league record, made Southern work to the end.
The Jaguars grabbed a 17-point halftime lead and built it to 25 twice before Grambling fought back to cut the lead to single digits in the final minute.
Southern made enough plays at the end to come away with a 100-92 victory. It hosts Jackson State on Monday.
“That’s my fault; I take full responsibility,” Southern coach Sandy Pugh said of the lead that shrunk but never disappeared. “It’s a rival game. Grambling has a lot of pride. I’ve got to keep the foot on pedal.”
