Southern Miss captured its third C-USA championship in school history with a 3-2 win over Rice in the conference tournament on Sunday at Pete Taylor Park.
“Just how proud I am of our guys and how we dealt with the adversity this year with some injuries and be able to overcome it, but more than anything we’ve had chemistry from day one and it continues to this day,” said coach Scott Berry. “Honestly, we’ve earned this championship.”
Hayden Roberts got his first career start for Southern Miss and did not let the Owls build a substantial lead.
