Power outage forces Redhawks volleyball match postponement

The Southeast Missouri State volleyball team was forced to wait one more day for its final home match.

A campus-wide power outage Saturday afternoon caused the postponement of that night's scheduled volleyball contest against Eastern Kentucky.

The match will be played at noon today. If power has not yet been restored to the Southeast campus, the senior day affair will be held at Notre Dame Regional High School.

Southeast notched its third straight win Friday night, beating visiting Morehead State 25-18, 21-25, 18-25, 25-18, 15-11.

The Redhawks improved to 12-15 overall and 7-8 in Ohio Valley Conference play as they solidified their hold on sixth place in the 10-team league. The top six finishers make the OVC tournament.

Southeast had a season-high .286 attack percentage as Emily Hughes led a balanced attack with 16 kills. Four other Redhawks recorded at least eight kills.

Karleigh DeLong had nine kills and a team-high 14 digs, while Claire Keaton had nine kills and eight digs.

Sarah Barth nearly had a triple-double. She recorded 39 assists, 10 digs and nine kills.

Molly Davis had 11 digs, Amanda Rickhoff had 10 digs and Emily Maher added eight kills.
