HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University women's basketball team will look for its first road win of 2021-22 on Friday, when it travels to Alcorn State for a 6 p.m. contest in Lorman, Mississippi.
 
Southeastern (1-2) is coming off a 74-35 victory over LSU-Shreveport in the Lady Lions' home opener on Monday in the University Center. SLU forced the visiting Pilots into 28 turnovers, as the 35 points allowed were the fewest yielded by Southeastern under head coach Ayla Guzzardo and the fewest allowed since a 63-32 win over Millsaps in the 2008-09 season.
 
The Lady Lions were also 9-for-18 from behind the arc, as Daija Harvey (6-for-7) and Morgan Carrier (3-for-5) both had the hot hand from three-point range. Harvey led SLU with a career-high 20 points, while Carrier added 19 points to fuel the Southeastern attack.
 
Harvey leads Southeastern with 10.0 points per game. Carrier (8.7 ppg), Cierria Cunningham (7.0 ppg) and Caitlyn Williams (6.0 ppg) are the other top scorers for the Lady Lions through the first three games. Hailey Giaratano leads SLU with 2.0 assists per contest.
 
Opponents are averaging 56.0 points and 21.3 turnovers per game versus Southeastern. Harvey and Taylor Bell lead the Lady Lions with five steals each, while Natalie Kelly has a team-high four blocked shots.
 
Williams is fourth in school history with 82 career blocked shots and is currently ninth with 646 career rebounds. Carrier ranks among the program's career leaders in three-point field goals made (136, 5^th) and attempted (383, 6^th), while Harvey's 40.9 three-point field goal percentage is the second-highest career success rate in program history.
 
Alcorn State (0-2) will be opening its home schedule on Friday. The Lady Braves opened the season with a 96-35 loss at Marquette, before falling, 86-63, at Mississippi State.
 
Cayla Obillo and T'Naye Griffin share the team lead for the Lady Braves with 8.5 points per game. Diamond Hall paces Alcorn State with 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
 
Southeastern is 5-3 all-time versus Alcorn State. Last season, the Lady Lions rolled to a 99-65 victory over the Lady Braves in the season opener in Hammond.
 
Following Friday's contest, SLU will return home to host UL Lafayette on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the University Center in a game that will be televised on ESPN+.
