The opening day of Southern Miss’ softball season is now less than two weeks away, and the Golden Eagles are gearing up to take the field and begin their 2019 campaign. Coming off the first losing season of her collegiate career, senior catcher Samantha Papp—who was recently named a member of the preseason All-Conference USA team—is expected to take a leading role and help the Southern Miss return to its winning ways.
In order to do so, the team will have to maneuver through a pretty competitive schedule that features many familiar faces from last spring.
The action will begin in Hattiesburg on Friday, Feb.
