MACON, Ga.- Southern Miss Volleyball heads to play in the Mercer Invitational on Friday and Saturday in Macon.

Despite the weekend ending with three losses, the Golden Eagles still made a statement.
Hayden Riddle marked a career-high 43 assists, while Sunni Sheppard was named to the Ellesyn Invitational All-Tournament team.
The Golden Eagles will compete against Presbyterian on Friday morning. They recently finished a close 302 match against Temple last weekend to advance to 2-5 (0-0 Big South).

The Golden Eagles will play against Mercer that evening following the match.
Southern Miss leads the Bears with 15.0 digs per set, compared to Mercer's 12.3. Sheppard accounts for 30 percent of the Golden Eagles' 299 digs this season.

To close out the Mercer Invitational, Southern Miss will play against Elon on Saturday. They are 4-4 (0-0 CAA) after beating Norfolk State 3-1.
