Favre played both indoor and beach volleyball for the Golden Eagles in Hattiesburg. After playing indoor in 2017 and 2018, Favre moved to the sand and was on USM’s inaugural beach volleyball team in 2019.

With 36 career victories, she is the fourth winningest player in USM history. Earlier in the spring, Favre played on Court 1 four the Golden Eagles and won 11 matches.

Throughout her time in the sand at USM, Favre played on every court except Court 5 and during her final season there she played solely on the top court.
