Southern Miss at a Glance
The Lady Eagles come into the game with a 1-1 record and looking to get back on the winning track. Freshman Jamierra Faulkner leads the team offensively at 16.5 points over two games while Tanesha Washington leads the team in rebounding at 7.5 rebounds per game.
UNO is currently 0-3 with losses to ULM, McNeese State and Southeastern Louisiana. The Privateers return only one letterwinner from last year's team as the remainder of the roster is made of players recruited by the coaching staff without athletic scholarships and walk-ons.
Mirjam Sipos leads the Privateers in scoring at 11.7 points while Victoria Smith and Sipos lead the team in rebounding at 5.0 rebounds per game.
This is the 32nd meeting between the two teams. Southern Miss leads the series, 21-8, dating back to the 1975-76 season. The Lady Eagles are 12-3 in Hattiesburg and 11-5 in New Orleans. Southern Miss has won 13 of the last 14 meetings between the two schools.
What Next?
Southern Miss will host its annual Thanksgiving Classic, Nov. 26-27, that includes Louisiana-Lafayette, Kentucky and Murray State.
