HAMMOND – Freshman Elizabeth Ramee tied a season-high with 13 kills and led a balanced attack as Southeastern Louisiana defeated Louisiana-Monroe, 25-14, 21-25, 25-21, 25-17, in a non-conference volleyball match Tuesday at the University Center.

“I was really impressed with the girl's character, they really wanted to play well at home and they wanted to make this a tough place for opponents to play in,” Southeastern head coach Geno Frugoli said. “They played with great focus tonight and they defeated a team (ULM) that I feel is a lot better than what they showed tonight.”
