BATON ROUGE, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University beach volleyball team closed out day two 1-1 Saturday afternoon in the Battle on the Bayou to end the weekend.
 
Southeastern (12-17, 4-4 SLC) began the day with a 4-1 win over conference rival New Orleans (11-20, 3-8 SLC) Saturday morning at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium. The Lady Lions gained their first win of the tournament as pair three and four claimed a two-set victory to help the team snap a two-game losing streak.
 
SLU closed out day two with a 5-0 loss to No. 9 LSU (20-9).
