ABILENE, Texas – A season-high five different players contributed double-digit kills as a balanced offensive attack powered Southeastern Louisiana to a Southland Conference win Thursday, 25-15, 25-18, 17-25, 26-24, over Abilene Christian at Moody Coliseum.
Jolie Hidalgo (12), who turned in her second double-double of the season,
Caroline Golden (12),
Karlee Wilkerson (12),
Jodi Edo (11) and
Sam Gomez (11) all reached double figures in kills, pacing Southeastern (10-11, 4-3 Southland) to a .276 attack percentage.
Baylee Laskoskie, a freshman from Spring, Texas, also turned in a double-double performance, handing out a career-best 47 assists to go along with 17 digs. Laskoskie, Hidalgo and Golden, a junior from Mandeville, Louisiana, each served up an ace.
Hidalgo, a freshman from Lafayette, Louisiana, earned her double-double by leading all players with a career-high 19 digs.
