YOUNGSVILLE, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University beach volleyball team fell short in two matches Friday afternoon at the Sugar Beach Bash hosted in Youngsville, Louisiana to begin the weekend.
 
Southeastern (6-5, 2-1 SLC) opened day one of the tournament with a 0-5 loss against conference foe Boise State (13-6, 1-0 SLC). The Broncos gained their first conference win of the season with all five matches decided with a two-set advantage snapping the Lady Lions six game winning streak.
 
SLU returned to the sand suffering a 3-2 loss to Stephen F. Austin (6-7) to end the day. Southeastern's top pair Rachel Hartmann and Andrea Da Silva worked to gain some momentum for the Lady Lions as they defeated the Lady Jacks with a 21-13 and 21-18 victory. Isabella Lockwood and freshman Erin Engel also gained a win over Stephen F. Austin with a two-set advantage to avoid a sweep.
