NEW ORLEANS, LA.- Stephen F. Austin (19-10, 13-3 Southland) defeated LSU New Orleans (3-26, 1-15 Southland) 3-0 on Saturday, taking the sets 25-12, 25-15, 25-20. SFA finished with 54 kills and a .384 hitting percentage, above its season average of .240, while holding the Privateers to 26 kills and .116. Katherine Holtman recorded her 900th career kill.

SFA moved in front 5-1 in the opening set behind an Izzy Orton service ace, kills from Caroline Kahle, Holtman and Avery Koonsen, and a block involving Jordan Henderson and Holtman. The Privateers worked back to 7-7 with a service ace and an SFA attack error, but SFA stayed ahead and reached 12-10 on consecutive Henderson kills. After a Kahle kill made it 13-10, her service turn carried SFA through eight straight points to a 21-10 lead, with Holtman, Henderson and Koonsen adding kills and SFA producing multiple blocks during the run. The Privateers stopped the stretch once, but Koonsen had two late kills before a Privateers attack error closed SFA's 25-12 set win.

SFA opened the second set by scoring the first five points, with Kahle starting it with a kill and Koonsen adding two kills before Holtman made it 5-0. SFA stayed in front through the middle of the set as Koonsen, Molly Cravens and Kahle put away kills, while the Privateers reached 14-8 on a LSU-UNO kill and an SFA attack error. A block by Holtman and Henderson started a six-point SFA stretch to 20-8, and Cambry Saul served the final five points of it as Koonsen supplied four kills around a Privateer attack error. The Privateers pulled back to 23-15 with three straight points late, but Kahle answered with a kill, and SFA closed the set 25-15 on a Williams attack error.

SFA moved in front early in the third set when Kyanna Creecy's kill and an Aniston Collins ace made it 5-3, and the teams traded points until Henderson and Holtman combined on a block for a 10-7 edge. The Privateers worked back to tie the set at 12-12 and 14-14, then went ahead 15-14 on a block before Kahle's kill and Holtman's kill put SFA back up 16-15. After LSU-UNO tied it at 16-16, SFA took five of the next seven points to lead 21-18, with Henderson, Kahle, Creecy and Koonsen providing kills during the stretch.
