Southern Miss (3-2) broke a two-game losing streak on the road by returning home to beat the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) 3-1 with its strongest attack of the season.
“Taking those two losses is kind of hard, but I think after practice, we knew what we had to do,” senior defender Caitlin Pierce said. “We came in here with a high tempo and we executed everything we were supposed to. Everything we worked on at practice we did today, and I think that’s what helped us keep the tempo up. Everyone had a high energy and that’s when we started putting goals in the back of the net.
