White led the Friars with 13 points off the bench while Jackson added 11.
Houston Baptist would get within 11, 34-23, following two free throws from David Caraher with 3:21 to play in the half.
However, PC would close the half on an 8-0 run to take a 42-23 lead into the locker room.
Houston Baptist would not get closer than 10 points in the second half as PC would cruise to the season-opening win.
