With 3:38 left in the first half the Lady Jaguars nursed a ten point lead over the Lady Braves, then Chloe Fleming drained a long distance three to put the Jaguars up by thirteen points. On the next play Amani Mcwain grabs a defensive rebound and takes it coast to coast for a layup to give the Jaguars a 13 point lead to end the first half 31-18.

"We came out tonight with the type of effort defensively that it takes to win basketball games. Offensively we took care of the basketball and got it to the open shooters. I think that every player contributed to the win and that's what it takes to be a championship caliber team. We will go back to practice on Monday and get ready for our last two regular season games", said Head Coach Carlos Funchess.

The Lady Jaguars defense forced the Lady Braves to 18 turnovers, picking up 21 points off turnovers. SU played all nine players with eight landing in the scoring column.
