Southern Miss (13-10, 5-5 C-USA) extended its winning streak to four games with a 67-45 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday. With the win, the Lady Eagles have now won five of their last six contests.
“We have continued to make strides,” Southern Miss head coach Joye Lee-McNelis said. “We started out the season 0-4 and ever since that point we have found ourselves. I think the reason for that is the play of Shonte Hailes. I think our team as a unit is playing a lot better. I thought it was huge for Kennedy Gavin for having a career high tonight.
