“We are going to have to play Prairie View a lot better than we played against Texas Southern,” said Assistant Coach Clayton Harris.  “The bottom line is that we are going to have to come out with a win.  It's really hard to get a win on the road sometimes, we were just lucky to do just that last night.  We are going to just have to play a total game tomorrow.  We are leading in defensive rebounding in the conference so we will have to stay focused and continue to play defense.
 
Prairie View is led by Kiara Etienne who is averaging 14.9 points per game, teammate and leading rebounder Latia Williams is averaging 12.7 points per game and 8.7 rebounds.
 
“Prairie View has a lot of really good players they are not that big but they have good personnel to play with.   They have players that can shoot the three and play the perimeter really good.  We are going to have to continue to play hard and play our game.  Rebounding will be the key to us winning as well as us playing defense.
