CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Redshirt-senior Olivia Hackmann became the 17^th all-time member of Southeast Missouri's 1,000-point club in Saturday's 74-63 loss to Eastern Kentucky (4-10, 1-0 OVC). Southeast falls to 6-9, 0-2 OVC.

Hackmann recorded 26 points in the contest. She was 19 short of one thousand entering the game. The Chamois, Missouri native was one rebound shy of her fifth double-double, finishing with nine rebounds. Her 12 made field goals ties a career best. She is the eighth Division I member of Southeast's 1,000-Point Club and the first since Sonya Daugherty and Tarina Nixon joined in 2008-09.

Aside from Hackmann, Bri Mitchell and Adrianna Murphy each tallied double-digit point performances. Mitchell put up 16 points in the contest while Murphy had 10. Murphy's 10 points ties a season high set on Dec. 16 at Memphis. The sophomore also pulled in seven rebounds with a team-high five assists.

Deja Jones and Hackmann co-led the team in rebounding, each grabbing nine rebounds.

As a team, Southeast tied EKU with 49 total rebounds. The difference came in the Redhawks' 26 offensive boards to EKU's 16, resulting in 22 second-chance points.

The Redhawks and Colonels went toe-to-toe much of the first quarter while Southeast twice held leads in the frame. The Colonels finished the quarter with six unanswered points over the final 1:24 to overcome the early Redhawk lead and hold a one-point advantage after the opening 10 minutes, 18-17.

Hackmann led the Redhawks with six first-quarter points followed closely by five points from Mitchell.

Southeast Missouri's offense was stymied in the second quarter, being held to a lone field goal, scored by Hackmann. EKU outscored Southeast 13-2 in the frame to hold a 31-19 lead on the Redhawks at halftime.

Hackmann was the Redhawks' scoring leader at half with eight. Jones pulled in six first-half rebounds to lead in the team in the category.

The fourth quarter started hot for the Redhawks. Down 10, Southeast sparked an 8-3 run to pull within three, 58-55, with 5:04 to play. The run included the 3-pointer that gave Hackmann her 1,000^th career point.

As soon as the Redhawks cut it to three, EKU went on an 11-2 run of their own to go back up by 12 with under a minute to play.

Hackmann put the exclamation point on 2016 with 12 fourth-quarter points.
