THEY SAID IT
Head coach Jaco Keyser

- On today's performance: "It was a good win. I thought we played really good today. We should be excited for various reasons. The quality of play was good and then of course today we clinched a share of the Sun Belt regular season title. That was one of our goals so hopefully that sets us up nicely of the conference tournament. I am just overall pleased with the girls effort and intent. I think we are peaking at just the right time."

UP NEXT 
-South will host Tulane on Friday.
