Seventh seed Southern Miss pulled off a five-set comeback (20-25, 15-25, 25-16, 25-20, 15-11) Friday over No. 2 Western Kentucky in the quarterfinal round of the Conference USA volleyball tournament.
With the win, Southern Miss advances to the semifinal match against FIU Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
“I’m just really excited (and) proud of our team,” Southern Miss head volleyball coach Stephanie Radecki said. “We talked all year about our journey being very unique. We were in a lot of five set matches this year and fell a little short and we were really excited to be prepared for this five-set match.
