South Alabama’s women’s basketball team defeats Florida International, 59-58, to clinch back-to-back Sun Belt Conference titles for the first time since the 1987-88 and ’88-89 seasons.  Donyel Wheeler had a team-high 14 points, and Sara Carter added 10 and five steals for the Lady Jags, who improved to 20-5 overall with the victory.  The win came just four days after Lady Jag head coach Rick Pietri took over as the program’s all-time leader in SBC victories, while less than a month later USA would play host to a national tournament contest for the first time in program history when Florida State visited the Mitchell Center for a first-round WNIT match-up on March 17.
