ALEXANDRIA, LA — The Lady Hornets of Alabama State University held off reigning champion Jackson State in the final round to win the 2013 Southwestern Athletic Conference title at Links on the Bayou Golf Course on Tuesday. It was the second title for ASU who also won the 36-hole event in 2011.

The Lady Hornets finished the tournament with a total score of 327-330 — 657, outdistancing Jackson State by 25 strokes. The Lady Tigers shot a two-day score of 344-338 — 682.
