PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas -- With a conference title showdown looming Saturday, the Southern women’s basketball team had one order of business to take care of first.It didn’t take long.
Southern used a 20-0 run in the game’s first 12 minutes to run away with a 78-50 victory over Prairie View on Thursday night at the Williams Nicks Building.
Freshman Briana Green scored a career-high 23 points, while Kendra Coleman added 20 as the Jaguars coasted toward their 14th straight win.
More importantly, the victory gives Southern a chance for at least a share of Southwestern Athletic Conference title with a win against Texas Southern on Saturday.
“We want to play for a championship and we know if we didn’t get this win tonight, we can’t do that,” Southern senior Jasmine Jefferson said. “We were very focused. That’s all we had our mind on.”
The Jaguars (17-10, 15-2) didn’t waste any time taking care of business, shooting 55 percent from the field — including 5-of-7 from 3-point range — and made 15 of 20 free throws.
