Lady Lions Off To SFA

Donald continues to climb Southeastern's history charts

Freshman Shelby Devlin, fourth on the team in kills (1.64 per set), continues to improve with experience
NACOGDOCHES, Texas – In the middle of a three-match road trip, the Southeastern Louisiana volleyball team heads to Stephen F. Austin Saturday for a 1 p.m. Southland Conference contest.

Live statistics, courtesy SFA, will be available at LionSports.net.

Senior Courtney Donald, the Lady Lions' offensive leader, ranks among the best in Southeastern history. She is ninth in Lady Lion history in kills (888), total attempts (2428) and block assists (188). Her career .240 attack percentage is the sixth-best in school history and needs just four points to move into the top-10 in that statistical category.

The Tomball, Texas, native ranks second in the Southland in kills (3.89 per set) and her .372 hitting percentage ranks third.

Aiding Donald on offense are Veronica Turk (2.42 k/set), Tamra Grayson (1.65 k/set) Shelby Devlin (1.64 k/set) and Becky Bekelja (8.98 assists per set). The Lady Lions are the second-best hitting team (.198 attack percentage) in the conference.

Megan McMillin, with the fifth-best digs per set (4.39) average in the Southland, anchors the Southeastern back row. Bekelja (2.32), Morgan Todd (1.98) and Cherish Krohn (1.83) contribute significantly to the Lady Lion defensive efforts.

The Lady Lions dropped a four-set decision in conference play Thursday at Northwestern State while SFA is coming off a four-set, conference victory over Nicholls State.

Jill Ivy, fifth in the Southland in kills (3.23 per set), leads the SFA offense under the direction of setter Paige Holland (9.96 a/set). Sabrina Burns (2.59 k/set) and Tori Bates (2.26 k/set) are the other top hitters for the Ladyjacks.

Madison Hanlan averages 4.48 digs per set for SFA, good for fourth in the conference, while Cara Leslie is fifth in blocks (1.06 per set).

Southeastern wraps up its road trip Tuesday at McNeese State.
