The Lady Jackets (9-6, 5-3) wrap up the regular season at Mary Hardin-Baylor (11-7, 7-6) – a 69-63 winner over Sul Ross (8-13, 6-5) Thursday night – at 1 p.m. Saturday. All three of the aforementioned teams are still in the hunt for the No. 2 seed and the right to host a first-round game in the revamped ASC Championship Tournament. HPU would clinch the No. 2 seed with a win, Sul Ross would be No. 2 with a win and an HPU loss, and UMHB would be No. 2 with a win and a Sul Ross loss at Concordia (2-7, 2-7).
The Howard Payne Lady Jackets halted a two-game skid and moved back into second place in the American Southwest Conference West Division standings with an 83-67 victory over the Sul Ross Lady Lobos Saturday afternoon at the Brownwood Coliseum.
The Lady Jackets (8-6, 5-3) – who led the ASC West when the week began – were coming off losses of 67-48 at Hardin-Simmons Monday and 76-65 at Sul Ross (8-12, 6-5) on Thursday night.
Howard Payne head coach Yannick Denson attributed Saturday’s turnaround to the Lady Jackets’ improved focus on the game plan.
“I thought we did a really good job of coming out early and scoring and not being down,” Denson said. “We had the lead the entire game, and our start was key.”

The win was the fifth in the last six games for the Lady Jackets (5-4, 2-1), who are tied for second place in the ASC West with Sul Ross (6-9, 4-2), percentage points behind division leader and eighth-ranked Hardin-Simmons (10-3, 5-2). The only loss in that span for HPU was by six points to No. 3 East Texas Baptist (17-0, 9-0).
