BATON ROUGE, LA -- Southern University returns home Saturday afternoon looking to protect its home court as the Lady Jaguars welcome SWAC rival Texas Southern in a key early-season conference match-up.

Southern enters the contest with confidence against a familiar opponent after splitting last season's series 1–1, including a memorable home victory over the Lady Tigers. That win serves as motivation for the Jaguars as they aim to reassert their dominance in Baton Rouge and build momentum in front of their home crowd.

The Lady Jaguars will lean on their defensive intensity and disciplined half-court execution, two areas that proved decisive in last season's home win against Texas Southern. Controlling the tempo and limiting second-chance opportunities will again be a priority as Southern seeks to dictate the game's flow.

Texas Southern comes in seeking revenge and a road statement. The Lady Tigers are known for their physical style of play and aggressive defense, and they'll look to disrupt Southern's rhythm early while pushing the pace in transition.

With conference positioning already at stake, Saturday's match-up promises to be competitive and emotionally charged. For Southern, the goal is clear: defend home court, build on last season's success against Texas Southern, and take an important step forward in SWAC play.
