GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- The streak is over.Southern’s women’s basketball team lost 79-71 on Saturday at Grambling, a road trip to the Jaguars’ fiercest rival that ended their seven-game winning streak despite Briana Green's 27 points.
“I thought we did some good things down the stretch,” said coach Sandy Pugh. “Then just some critical turnovers, didn’t box out … We just really seemed out of sync.”
The Jaguars traded punches with Grambling for much of the game, trailing by two at halftime but leading 54-53 after three quarters.
Behind a scrappy crew of guards, Grambling controlled the fourth quarter to deal the Jaguars their first loss since Jan. 3, Southern’s second Southwestern Athletic Conference game.
Grambling outscored tiring Southern 26-17 in the fourth.
“They went to a little 2-3 zone, and our shooters just weren’t shooting the ball,” Pugh said.
The Jaguars (9-10, 8-2 SWAC) remain atop the league standings.
