Southern Miss loses to South Alabama, 78-57

South Alabama’s three-point shooting was too much for Southern Miss in midweek 78-57 loss.

“We had opportunities where we made runs [and] then all of sudden we had lapses defensively, and it turned then they scored,” said Head Coach Joye-Lee McNelis. “We would make a run like we had dug ourselves out of the pit but then we would make mistakes and they would shove us back down. South Alabama is very good. They truly gave us a good ole fashion butt whooping.”

The Lady Eagles fell behind early, facing a 9-2 deficit due to South Alabama back-to-back three-pointers.
