Heading into the final home contest of the season against UTSA, Southern Miss redshirt senior guard Megan Brown was just 11 points shy from reaching 1,000 points for her career. Not only did the Lady Eagles (17-11, 9-6 C-USA) win 72-39, but Brown scored 12 points in her final game at Reed Green Coliseum to add her name to the 1,000-point club at Southern Miss.
“Megan Brown is a true difference maker, and I’m proud of her for getting her 1,000th point tonight,” Southern Miss head coach Joye Lee-McNelis said. “I’ve been stressing about it since the beginning of the season, and it’s like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders.
