DURANT, Okla. – Caitlin Kobiske turned in 18 points for the game and Southeastern shot 60.0 percent in the fourth quarter as it looked to mount a rally that did not materialize in a 62-52 loss on Saturday Afternoon to Henderson State in Bloomer Sullivan Arena.

Abbie Barr turned in 11 points to join her in double figures, hitting a pair of threes, while Briley Moon ended the night with 10 points.

The Reddies would use an 11-2 run to erase the Storm lead and take a 25-21 lead with 2:53 to play in the first half.
 
SE would answer with four-straight on a pair of Macy Bookout free throws and Kobiske bucket to knot the game at 25-25, but the Reddies would score the final four points of the half to lead 29-25 at the break.
 
The Storm would struggle from the field in the third quarter, hitting 18.8 percent and 1-of-7 from three-point range as HSU would outscore SE 14-7 for the quarter to push its lead to 43-32.
 
SE would put together a 9-2 run to close the deficit to 47-43 following a Lauryn Scalice three with 4:09 remaining.
