With a championship pedigree and the target firmly on their backs, the Lady Jaguars of Southern University return to the SWAC title game looking to capture another conference championship.

Alabama State, however, presents a formidable challenge. The Hornets have battled their way through the bracket with toughness and resilience, using their defensive intensity and transition scoring to put pressure on opponents. Their ability to control tempo and create opportunities in the open floor will be key against the experienced Jaguars.
