MONROE, La. – The two-time reigning Southland Conference Tournament champion Southeastern Louisiana University softball team set a new school record with its 13

SLU took an early lead in the top of the first inning versus ULM starter Dakota Lake. Morris led off the game with a solo home run over the centerfield fence to stake the Lions to an early 1-0 lead.
Southeastern added to its advantage in the top of the second inning, as Morris singled home
Shenita Tucker to start the scoring in the frame. Morris would later come home on an RBI single by
Chloe Magee. Magee, who celebrated her 21

The Warhawks loaded the bases against Blanchard in the bottom of the second inning, but the Lion ace retired Carys Platt to keep ULM down, 3-0.
ULM reliever Skylar Waggoner held SLU scoreless over the final five innings, but the Warhawks couldn't break through against Lion pitching. The Southeastern quartet forced ULM to strand nine base runners, as the Warhawks were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
