The Southern Miss Lady Eagles (19-9, 11-5 C-USA) extended their winning streak to five games by defeating the Rice Owls (16-10, 7-8 C-USA) on Thursday night at Reed Green Coliseum — a game that was marked by the return of Head Coach Joye Lee-McNelis.
Looking to extend their four-game winning streak and improve their conference standing before the C-USA tournament, the Lady Eagles were able to achieve both of those goals with a 79-60 win over the Rice Owls on Thursday night.
“For us to play the way we did tonight, [it] shows our growth,” said Head Coach Joye Lee-McNelis.
