It was a tight matchup throughout the entire game, with the teams going into halftime deadlocked at 33. 

And with the game tied at 63 with under two minutes on the clock, Southern took advantage of an Olivia Kennedy foul on a three-point shot by Kendra Coleman. Coleman then converted the three ensuing free throws to take the lead and the momentum. 

Coleman again came through for the Lady Jaguars in the final seconds when she made a pair of free throws to seal the game. 

Jasmine Jefferson paced Southern with 16 points. 

MVSU will be back in action Saturday when they host Texas Southern at 3 p.m. at The Pinnacle o the campus of Coahoma Community College in Clarksdale.
