CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. — Southeast Missouri defeated SIUE 3-0 (25-17, 25-15, 25-20) on Saturday. SEMO hit .359 with 44 kills and nine service aces while holding the Cougars to 32 kills and a .238 hitting percentage.
The Redhawks answered an early 3-2 deficit by moving in front 7-4, getting kills from Lucy Arndt and Jacey Young during that stretch. The lead grew through continued production from Reagan Nelson, Marin Johnson and Katherine St. John, with Nina Schuberth adding a service ace for a 23-14 advantage. Nelson delivered kills for Southeast Missouri's final two points as it closed the first set 25-17.
SEMO closed the second set on a 9-0 run after the Cougars cut the margin to 16-15, finishing off a 25-15 set win. Johnson served the final eight points of the set, including four consecutive aces, while Nelson added four kills during the closing stretch.
The Redhawks broke a 10-10 tie with four straight points on kills by Katherine St. John, Arndt, St. John again and Alaina Lester. The home side later reached set point at 24-16 before the Cougars answered with four straight points, but Arndt finished the set with a kill from Megan Holder for a 25-20 Southeast Missouri win.
