The last time out
In its last match played, Southern Miss was edged out by Missouri 1-0 in a hard-fought opening night contest in Columbia, Mo. on Thursday night.

Defense and the goalkeeping of Kendell Mindnich proved to be bright spots for the Golden Eagles once again. The Golden Eagles' defense played with resiliency throughout the match and Mindnich tallied a total of five saves.
In the end, Missouri sophomore forward Julissa Cisneros' goal scored in the second minute of the match, proved to be the difference maker for the Tigers.
