HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss had three players reach double-digit points on its way to an 89-45 win over East Texas Baptist in Tuesday's exhibition game.

Southern Miss quickly found its range from the three-point line, as Kennedy Langham knocked down two triples in quick succession before Hayleigh Breland connected from deep to give the Golden Eagles a 9-4 lead. Not long after, a fourth triple of the period fell for the Black and Gold, this time by Kylie Marshall, which sparked a 10-0 run to push the gap to 21-8. Moonie Augurson soon joined in on the three-point party, draining a triple for the team's fifth of the period to help give Southern Miss a 29-16 lead at the end of the period.

Southern Miss saw five different players find the basket during this stretch, including a second three-pointer by Marshall. The Golden Eagles held the Tigers to just eight points in the second stanza to carry a 46-24 lead into halftime.

Langham and Augurson combined to finish off the scoring in the third quarter, as Southern Miss took a 70-37 lead into the final ten minutes.

Langham remained red-hot from beyond the arc, opening the scoring in the final period with her fourth triple of the game.
