The WKU soccer team (5-2-1, 1-0 C-USA) kicked off Conference USA play with an emphatic win over the weekend, as the Lady Toppers netted a golden goal in the 104th minute of double-overtime to escape a tough test against Southern Mississippi (5-4, 0-1 C-USA) with a 1-0 win.
All-C-USA Preseason Team member Ambere Barnett scored the game-winning goal at the 103:31 mark of the double-overtime period, lifting the Lady Toppers past the Golden Eagles for the program’s first win in a C-USA opener since the 2016 season.
The last time WKU won its first matchup in conference play was Sept.
