BIRMINGHAM— The Golden Eagles’ season came to an end after being upset 4-2 in the first game of the Conference USA tournament by UTSA.
The Game
Southern Miss opened the game with a 1-0 lead as Destini Brown led the first inning with a solo home run over the left field wall.
The Golden Eagles added another run in the third inning with an RBI double from Lacey Sumerlin.
