Tanika Jackson led ASU in scoring with 14 points and eight rebounds.  No other player scored in double figures for The Lady Hornets.  Dominque Smith led all scorers with 17 for Prairie View.  She also pulled down 12 rebounds.

“It is just a matter of gaining confidence right now”.  Coach Jackson said.  “Going forward our girls must listen to the coaches and figure this out”.   The loss drops ASU to 4-14 overall and 1-7 in the conference.  They are now on a five game losing streak.  Prairie View 10-9 overall and 6-2 in the SWAC.
