The Prince George's Community College women's basketball program took to the road for their fourth game in a row on Wednesday, January 18^th when the team travelled to La Plata, MD to take on Southern Maryland's Hawks.

The Owls, who just moved up one spot to #9 in the NJCAA DIII women's rankings, had their best stretch during the first quarter as they scored 22 points compared to 14 for Southern Maryland before Prince George's stumbled in the second, being outscored 13-7 to head into halftime with a slim 29-27 lead.
