CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. — Southeast Missouri  swept Tennessee St.  3-0 on Thursday to win its sixth straight match. SEMO hit .379 with 42 kills and held Tennessee St. (0-20, 0-9 OVC) to .056, taking the sets 25-15, 25-11 and 25-16.
The Redhawks (17-7, 10-1 OVC) turned a one-point opening set into control by winning seven of eight rallies, moving from 13-12 to 20-13 behind kills from Jacey Young, Marin Johnson and Reagan Nelson and a Johnson service ace. The home side finished the set with three of the final four points, including a Katy St. John kill and a block by Alaina Lester and St. John, to take it 25-15.
After erasing a 6-5 deficit in the second set, Southeast Missouri used an 8-0 run from 9-7 to 17-7 that included seven straight service points on Marin Johnson's serve. SEMO kept the margin in double digits late and finished the set at 25-11.
In the third set, the Redhawks took control with a 6-0 run from 2-1 to 8-1, with Nina Schuberth serving the final five points of the surge. Johnson had four kills during that stretch, and Southeast Missouri carried the separation through a 25-16 set win.
