From School Reports
The Meridian Community College Lady Eagles entered play
Thursday night looking to take control of the top spot in the MACJC South
Division, but things didn't go as planned for the green and white.
Pearl River scored a 72-66 home victory over the Lady
Eagles to take sole possession of first place in the South Division. MCC not
only fell back in the standings after the loss to PRCC Thursday, but now the
Lady Eagles find themselves in a tight race among three other teams in the
division.
Southwest defeated Hinds Thursday night by a final score
of 66-45, while Jones defeated Mississippi Gulf Coast by a final of 65-61 to
create a log jam in the division race. Southwest, Jones, and Meridian all now
hold an 8-4 division record after play Thursday night. Pearl River is sitting
in the top spot with a 9-2 league mark, while Co-Lin kept its postseason hopes
alive with a 73-66 victory over East Central. The Lady Wolves are still
mathematically in the hunt for the postseason with a 7-5 South Division record.
MCC dropped its overall record to 16-5 for the 2013-2014
season after the road loss, while Pearl River moved its overall record to 15-3.

Eagles with 23 points, while Victoria Stewart added 20 points in the loss.

and 18 rebounds in the victory, while Deantra Darjean had 16 points and 12
rebounds.
The MCC men also fell Thursday night by a final score of
