The Southeastern Louisiana University volleyball team travels to Jackson State for a 6 p.m. non-conference match Tuesday at the Lee E. Williams Athletics and Assembly Center. Postponed in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, the contest was originally scheduled for early September.

SLU (6-12) enters the match having won back-to-back contests overall and three consecutive on the road. Jackson State (8-10) is riding an eight-game winning streak after dropping its first 10 matches of the season.

Other key personnel driving the SLU offensive attack are Karlee Wilkerson (2.49 k/set), a senior from Springfield, Louisiana, Addie Vidrine (1.86 k/set), a junior from Lafayette, Louisiana, and middle blocker Crispin Adams (1.84 k/set), a preseason All-Conference selection from Brookshire, Texas.

Gracie Duplechein (7.84 a/set), a freshman from St. Amant currently ranks third in the conference in total assists (542).

Hannah Brewer, a freshman from Benton, Arkansas, ranks sixth in blocks (0.98 b/set) while Ansley Tullis, a sophomore libero from Slidell, Louisiana, leads the team with 4.10 digs per set and ranks seventh in the Southland.

Jackson State is led offensively by Alexis Williams (3.91 k/set), Olivia Flanagan (2.55 k/set) and Damassy Thompson (8.07 a/set). Trinity Bryant (3.19 d/set) and Marina Bianchi Brito (0.73 b/set) are the Lady Tigers’ top defenders.
