LAKE CHARLES, La.- The Stephen F. Austin women's basketball team (27-5, 16-4 SLC) secured the number three seed in the Southland Conference Tournament and faced off against the number seven seeded Nicholls Colonels (17-14, 9-11 SLC) for the second time in ten days.

SFA started off hot with back-to-back threes from Trinity Moore and Key Roseby, 6-0. Nicholls made a layup and a jumper to cut the lead down to two before SFA made five free throws in a row, 11-4 with 4:42 left in the first. Both teams traded baskets for the next several minutes until the 'Jacks went on a five-point spurt to take a commanding 20-9 lead with 52 seconds left in the first.

The Ladyjacks began the second quarter on an 8-1 run that was capped off by a three from Harmanie Dominguez, 28-14. Nicholls responded with a 6-0 spurt to cut the lead to eight, 28-20 with 6:17 left in the second quarter. Both teams traded mini runs the rest of the quarter, but Dominguez finished the quarter with an exclamation mark as she drained a three-pointer to extend the SFA lead to ten, 40-30.
