Southern Miss (18-18, 4-8 C-USA) hosted Marshall (27-5, 11-1 C-USA) this weekend, halting Marshall’s 17-game winning streak but losing the series 2-1.
“Conference USA is a tough conference — anybody can beat anybody on any day,” said Head Coach Wendy Hogue. “There have been a ton of close games.”
Saturday’s doubleheader would result in both sides taking home shutout victories. Marshall would take game one, 5-0 and Southern Miss would claim game two, 8-0.
In game one, Southern Miss’ lack of early offense would be detrimental. The Golden Eagles would record their first hit of the game in the bottom of the fifth inning.
