Southern Miss (18-20) traveled to Baton Rouge to take on No.8 LSU (29-9). Southern Miss looked to gain its third win on the road, but its efforts fell short as it lost 5-0 to the nationally ranked Lady Tigers. Wednesday’s loss dropped the Golden Eagles to 1-4 against SEC opponents, and 2-6 on the road this year.
The Golden Eagles have faced LSU 26 times leading up to Wednesday’s game. LSU has claimed a victory in 21 of those 26 meetings between the foes. Just like in the previous meetings, LSU’s dominant hitting and efficient base running was too much for the Golden Eagles.
