DESOTO, Texas – The Louisiana College volleyball team picked up its first victory as a member of the Red River Athletic Conference and first straight set win since September of 2019 to finish the weekend 1-2 at the RRAC East Round-Up by defeating the Paul Quinn Tigers 3-0 on Saturday after a pair of 3-0 losses on Friday to the Wiley Wildcats and Our Lady of the Lake Saints at the DeSoto Recreation Center.
 
Saturday – Louisiana College 3 (25, 25, 27); Paul Quinn 0 (20, 18, 25)
 
Looking to close out the displaced East Round-Up with a win, the Wildcats closed out set one for a 25-20 win, then pulled away in set two to win 25-18. The third set was a tight affair that required extra rallies before the Wildcats closed out the match, 27-25.
 
Jaslyn Bright led the attack with eight kills in the win. Kierra Jones added five kills while Sadi Jones knocked down four kills and two solo blocks. Kierra Jones and Abby Revell each had a service ace in the win. Paris Babino was credited with 13 assists in the victory.
 
Friday Match 1 – Louisiana College 0 (19, 13, 15); Wiley 3 (25, 25, 25)
 
In a battle of Wildcats to start the RRAC East Round-Up, Louisiana College rallied from an early deficit in the first set to take a 14-10 lead. Wiley scored the next four to tie the match, and after LC reclaimed a 15-14 lead, Wiley finished the first set on an 11-4 run to close out the match. That momentum carried Wiley for the remainder of the match as LC failed to recover in the 3-0 loss.
 
Sadi Jones led the LC attack with eight kills, two assisted blocks, and seven digs. Abby Revell had six kills. Paris Babino was credited with 19 assists, 11 digs, a service ace, and a block assist.
 
Friday Match 2 – Louisiana College 0 (14, 26, 10); Our Lady of the Lake 3 (25, 28, 25)
 
The second match of the first day for LC started much like the first one ended, with little momentum in the attack as the Wildcats fell behind the Our Lady of the Lake Saints and couldn't rally.
 
However, things were looking good for LC in the second set as the Wildcats jumped out to a 17-11 lead over the Saints. LC pushed the lead out to 20-14 and looked prime to pick up the set win, but OLLU rallied for seven straight points to take a 21-20 lead before three straight LC points put the Wildcats back in prime position off an Aniah Adams kill. OLLU took the next three points for the first set point, but Katie Spell forced extra rallies with a kill. LC got its own set point at 26-25, but OLLU tallied the next three points to close out the set. That momentum carried OLLU through the third set to the match-ending result.
 
Aniah Adams led the Wildcats against the Saints with nine kills and LC's lone service ace in the match. Jaslyn Bright added six kills. Sadi Jones had four kills with three assists, a solo block, and 13 digs. Paris Babino had 14 assists and seven digs.
 
The Wildcats (1-5, 1-3 RRAC) look to keep the momentum going heading into senior weekend, trying to avenge an earlier season loss with a midweek match against Dillard. The Bleu Devils defeated the Wildcats 3-1 to open LC's season back on September 17^th. Opening serve against the Bleu Devils (8-2) is set for 6:00 P.M. at Dillard's Albert W. Dent Hall in New Orleans.
