Alcorn State (10-3) had defeated Southern, 56-16, in a regular-season meeting. The Jaguars (9-4) hadnt lost since that Sept. 27 matchup, winning seven straight games.

Gibbs, a 6-foot-6 junior, completed 20-of-30 pass attempts for 232 yards with one interception. He also carried the ball 15 times for 133 yards.

But Alcorn State went back ahead 31-24 on Anthony Williams IIIs 4-yard run - his second touchdown - with 4:55 left in the quarter. Gibbs then threw a 51-yard touchdown to Brandon Vessell in the first minute of the fourth quarter, extending the Braves lead to 38-24. He threw a touchdown to Jordan Payne in the first quarter and then one to Billy Shed with three seconds left in the first half. Willie Quinn had an 86-yard punt return for a touchdown for Southern.

The second-ranked Azarenka double-faulted 15 times and was broken five times by Petkovic, who reached the final here in 2011. "Im very happy with my performance," Petkovic said. "I was happy with my movement and my serve for the most part, and I managed to get a lot of balls back very deep and very strong. Parts of the match were a really, really good level - some parts I lost a bit of energy, but overall Im very happy." It was the second tournament in row in which Azarenka lost her first match, having been beaten by Venus Williams in Tokyo last week. "It was an awful match and a very bad performance from me, so theres not much to say about it," Azarenka said. "It happens once, twice a year to every player, and it happened to me today."
