Prairie View A&M (11-8, 4-1 SWAC West)

Southern (9-10, 4-5 SWAC West)
The Jaguars got a much-needed win to snap a seven-game losing streak in the series finale against Prairie View. Before Sunday’s win, the Jags had not won since a SWAC opening series sweep vs. Texas Southern.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (2-18-1, 2-4 SWAC West)

Jackson State (14-6, 8-1 SWAC East)
Clearly the hottest team in the SWAC, the Tigers have won 10 straight games and own a three-game lead in the division over Mississippi Valley State with a weekend sweep of rival Alcorn State.
