McNelis' Lady Eagles showed an all-new lineup against the Owls with the starting nod going to Allie Kennedy, Liz Gibbs, Daishai Almond, Respect Leaphart, and Kelsey Jones. Senior Shonte Hailes came into the game in the third quarter for the first time in seven games as she has been out with an injury, and she made her presence known with a good three-pointer.
Southern Miss is tied for eighth in C-USA with Marshall, while UAB sits in fifth place tied with Charlotte. The Blazers are led by Randy Norton who is in his seventh season in Birmingham. His squad is led by Rachael Childress in scoring with 486, Angela Vendrell in both rebounds with 220 and assists with 134.
