Alabama soccer dismantled Southern Miss 4-0 on Sunday evening. The victory improved the Crimson Tide's record to 5-1 while the Golden Eagles slid down to 1-2.

As the score indicates, Alabama's offense was hot all night and it started 14 minutes into the match as Gianna Paul opened the scoring. Brooke Steere (25th minute) and Nedya Sawan (29th minute) then added to the scoreboard with goals of their own just four minutes apart to go up 3-0 at halftime.

The goals would come to an end after Maison Smith put one in the net in the 62nd minute, but Alabama didn't stop firing shots. In total, the Crimson Tide tallied 21 total shots (10 on target) compared to Southern MIss' eight (three on target). Many of these shots came off of corners as Alabama dominated this 8-0.

Alabama's defense was stout throughout the night. Goalkeeper Ellie Lanyi was a major factor in creating the clean sheet as she made three saves on the eight total shots she faced.
