The Southern Miss Lady Eagles (6-3) returned to action Tuesday night with a 66-47 victory over Alcorn State (1-7) at Reed Green Coliseum. The win came after a 10-day break following a road loss to Tulane and puts the Lady Eagles back into the win column to start a three-game homestand over the holiday season.
Southern Miss jumped out to an early lead with a quick offensive start to the game, a pattern that seems to be the team’s signature attribute so far this season. The Lady Eagles shot 70 percent from the field in the opening period to claim a 19-8 advantage entering the second quarter.
