Storm Volleyball Fall to HSU

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern's offensive woes continued as it found itself playing from behind much of the afternoon in a 3-0 loss to Henderson State on Saturday afternoon in Bloomer Sullivan Gymnasium.
 
The loss drops the Savage Storm to 6-15 overall and 2-7 in Great American Conference play heading into an Oct. 12 road matchup with Arkansas-Monticello.
 
Errors once again offset the SE efforts as they outkilled HSU, but nearly broke even in kill to error ratio and finished the contest hitting .084.
 
Paige Hawkins and Arianna Baker led the offense with seven kills apiece, with Hallie Smith and Taylor Robinson right behind with five each.
 
Sydney Meget again led all setters in the match with 20 assists, while Jodi Dixon added eight, with each of them adding a pair of digs.
 
Caitlin Cosby again led Southeastern's back row defenders in the contest with 19 dig, while at the net Baker led the way with three blocks.
 
SE fell behind early in the first set and was never able to mount a rally in a 25-15 loss, but responded in set two and closed the gap, however a 5-1 mid-set run by the Reddies would put them in front for good as the Storm fell 25-20 in the set.
 
Southeastern jumped to an early lead in the third set, going up 6-2 before stretching it to as many as five points later at 12-7. A 9-1 HSU run would leave the Storm trailing, but they too would answer with a 5-1 run to tie the match at 18-18.  However, the Reddies would take seven of the last nine points to take the set 25-20 and the match 3-0.
