SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Not much got in the way of the Southeastern Louisiana offensive attack Saturday as the Lady Lions swept past Incarnate Word in dominating fashion, 26-24, 25-14, 25-22, in Southland Conference action at the McDermott Center.
 
Southeastern (11-13, 5-5 Southland) compiled a season-high .426 attack percentage against UIW (5-19, 1-9 Southland), more than 60 points better than its previous high. The Lady Lions also committed just nine attack errors in the contest, staying out of double figures for the first time this season.
 
"This was a good weekend for us," head coach Jeremy White said. "We competed well against a tough Houston Baptist squad Thursday and got the one we were supposed to against UIW today. I was especially proud to see our entire team get into the action today. All five attackers were at, or near, double figures while hitting .250 or better. Hats off to Baylee Laskoskie for making that happen."
 
Laskoskie, a freshman setter from Spring, Texas, turned in her second double-double effort of the week (38 assists, 10 digs) and eighth of the season.
 
Surviving a slugfest in the initial set, with both teams hitting over .380, the Lady Lions did little wrong in the second set (18 kills, 1 error, 31 attempts, .548 attack percentage). Southeastern carried that momentum through to the third and final set, moving back to .500 in conference play and into sole possession of sixth place in the Southland standings.
 
Jodi Edo (10 kills, .750), Sam Gomez (10 kills, .381) and Ryan Maddera (10 kills, .500) led the Lady Lions' attack with considerable help from Caroline Golden (nine kills, .250) and Karlee Wilkerson (nine kills, .583).
 
Golden and Gomez, both juniors from Mandeville, Louisiana, served up a pair of aces each and Southeastern recorded seven in the match. Golden currently ranks third in the conference in service aces (0.41 sa/set).
 
Gomez had a hand in six of Southeastern's seven blocks, posting a pair of solos. Laskoskie led the team in digs.
 
With the victory, the Lady Lions have earned their most overall wins since the 2015 season (13).
