Marshall Women’s Basketball snapped its five-game losing streak with a win over the Southern Miss Lady Eagles, making Marshall’s record (10-9) overall and (3-5) in conference play.
This matchup marks the 28th time these old Conference USA opponents have played since 2006. Marshall has won 12 of these games now.
Coach Tony Kemper emphasized the importance of defense and rebounding after a loss to Troy last week, and The Herd responded with a tremendous defensive performance. Marshall held the Lady Eagles to 52 points and hustled till the end, winning by one point.
Marshall and Southern Miss lacked in the three-point percentage category on Saturday, but the Herd’s defense outplayed The Lady Eagles.
