The 小蝌蚪APP scored landmark victories in several sports this past weekend, marking one of the most exciting stretches of South wins in recent memory.

The USA team scored the University鈥檚 first football victory over a Southeastern Conference school with a thrilling, 21-20 nail-biter Saturday at Mississippi State. The Jaguars were four-touchdown underdogs in the season opener, and actually trailed 17-0 at halftime, but came roaring back in the final quarter to secure the historic win. USA鈥檚 next game is the home opener at 6 p.m. Saturday against Sun Belt Conference powerhouse Georgia Southern.

Not to be outdone by the football team, the USA women鈥檚 team on Monday beat the top-ranked team in the country, Florida State, by a score of 1-0. The win is the Jags鈥� first over a ranked soccer opponent, and was marked by an incredible defensive effort, as South turned away 28 shots in the shutout triumph.  The Jaguars, now 3-2-1, hit the road next with games at Austin Peay on Friday and Ole Miss on Saturday. 

Finally, the women鈥檚 team is off to a strong 5-1 start on the season after winning the Jaguar Invitational at the Jag Gym this weekend.  The Jaguars, off to their best start since 1980, hope to keep the momentum going tonight when Southern Mississippi comes to the Jag Gym for a 6 p.m. match. 

鈥淭his past weekend was filled with great accomplishments and memories,鈥� said Dr. Joel Erdmann, USA director of athletics. 鈥淭his is a direct result of the commitment to excellence by our student-athletes, coaches and loyal fans. Nothing of importance is ever accomplished alone 鈥� this is truly a team effort from all angles.鈥�
