The Southern Miss women’s basketball team opened the 2018-2019 regular season with a 74-48 home win over William Carey on Tuesday, Nov 6.
The Lady Eagles look to be a physical team in the paint, as they scored 58 points in the paint and put together 56 total rebounds. At the same time, a highlight of the team will be its defense, as the team came away with 33 defensive rebounds, 11 steals and held WCU to a 26% shooting percentage.
“I believe that in order to win games early you have to be able to defend, you got to rebound and you have to make easy buckets,” Head Coach Joye Lee-McNelis said.
