Southern women hold off FAMU

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern women’s basketball team got just what it needed Wednesday night in the F.G. Clark Activity Center.

After losing six straight games on the road, mostly against teams from power conferences, the Jaguars came home and never trailed during an 80-69 victory against Florida A&M.

Five players scored in double figures and the defense helped get the fast-break going by making a dozen steals.

“I thought we did a good job of sharing the basketball and hitting the open guy,” Southern coach Sandy Pugh said. “The offense looked fluid. We were hitting shots. We seemed really comfortable and I was really pleased to see that.

“Defensively we had some communication breakdowns that happened, but we did a good job of getting out in transition. That was good to see.”
