The Golden Eagles participated in the Mississippi Gulf Coast Classic Feb. 25 and Feb. 26. According to coach Wendy Hogue, it was a inconsistent yet productive showing.
“I feel like we are significantly better than we were last year, but I just didn’t know if it was going to reflect on the scoreboard,” Hogue said. “I feel good leaving here [and], I think [the team] is still hungry.”
Southern Miss finished with a 3-2 tournament record, taking wins against Southeastern Louisiana, Nicholls and Incarnate Word and falling against Baylor and McNeese State.
The Golden Eagles knew that they would have to bring their A-game in the Classic early, having tilts against No.
