Seniors start fresh against Jaguars
On the night that DeJuan Wright and Jeremy Allen played their final home game in a Panther uniform, both went out with a bang.
Wright had career highs in both points and rebounds, 34 points and 13 rebounds, and Allen chipped in with 21 points, to lead the Panthers to a 81-74 win over the South Alabama Jaguars on senior night.

Head coach Cindy Russo says it’s the change of defense that got the Panthers going.
