Jackson State Falls at Home

JACKSON, Miss.| The Jackson State women's basketball team out-rebounded the Southern Jaguars 40-34, but fell 67-43 at home Thursday.

The Tigers had two players score in double figures, led by Pierre-Noelle Tcheuhchoua, who had 10 points and eight rebounds. Jaileyah Cotton added 10 points and two steals and Derrica McCall added four points and three steals.

Tcheuhchoua pulled down five offensive rebounds to lead an offense that racked up second chance opportunities for Jackson State, grabbing 24 boards and turning them into 13 second chance points.

The JSU defense was a problem in Thursday's game, forcing 21 Southern turnovers. Those takeaways turned into six points on the offensive end of the floor. McCall's three steals led the way individually for the Tigers.
