HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Southern Miss defeated the Charlotte 49ers volleyball team, 3-1, Friday night at the Payne Center. It was the first of two C-USA matches for the 49ers this weekend. Tomorrow night they play at Tulane.

Southern Miss (22-5, 7-2 in C-USA) was led by Bridget Files, who paced the team with a match-high 20 kills and 26 points. Nicki Tribble and Jazzmien Stephens followed with 16.5 points and 14.5 points, respectively.

"Our effort was great tonight," head coach Lisa Marston said. "Despite the loss, we showed a lot of heart. Southern Miss knows how to win. They've won 22 times now, so know they know what to do in tight situations. I have to give them credit."

The Golden Eagles used a 30-19 win in game one to take a 1-0 lead in the match. The 49ers answered in the second game, evening things with a 31-29 win in the second game. Southern Miss put the match away, however, with 30-21 and 31-29 wins in games three and four.
