HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Perhaps saving the toughest tournament for last, the Southern Miss volleyball team is off to Tuscaloosa for the Crimson-White Tournament. The Golden Eagles will battle No. 15 Purdue, No. 25 Alabama and South Alabama.
Quote from Stephanie Radecki
"This will be a challenging weekend for us. Playing three strong programs -- two that are currently ranked -- will definitely test our team, but it comes at a great time. We felt like we played very flat last weekend and are ready to show improvement and move forward."
