The Lions finished with 11 hits in Wednesday's victory. Veronica Puckett and Addison Contorno led SLU with two hits apiece.
 
Puckett also paced Southeastern with two runs scored. Contorno and Mykail Lusco shared team-high honors with two RBI each. Contorno and Brilee Ford each tripled, while Cayden Tullier had a double.
