Freshman outside hitter Paula Ogbevoen led the Lady Bleu Devils (2-4, 1-0) with 11 kills, followed by senior outside hitter Keisha Smoke, with 10.  Dillard won the match by scores of 27-25, 25-21, 16-25, and 25-20.

The first game went point for point, but game two saw Spring Hill (2-6, 1-3) jump out to a five-point lead, 13-18, off two service aces.  Dillard rallied back when Ogbevoen posted back to back kills for the tie and lead, 19-18, and the Lady Bleu Devils held on for the win. 

In game three, the Lady Badgers amassed an early eight point lead, 12-4, and errors seemed to stall Dillard's efforts.  DU got only within four points, eventually losing the set on a kill by Spring Hill's outside hitter Cassandra Marchand. 

The Lady Badgers carried that momentum into game four and they got off to a quick 5-0 start.  They were up 11-6 when Dillard senior Banikah Jackson (RS/S) went on a four-point service run, bringing the score within one, 10-11.  Moments later, junior middle blocker Cenquis Rockett nailed a spike to put the Lady Bleu Devils within one again, 14-15, shifting momentum Dillard's way.  With junior setter Danta Cobb serving, DU tied the game at 15-all and rallied to a two-point lead, 17-15, its first of the game.  The home team remained in control the rest of the way, with the final blow delivered by Rockett off a Cobb assist, to end the match.

Other match highs were freshman libero Yladrea Marshall with 15 digs; Cobb had 15 assists and Rockett added three solo blocks.

Dillard will host Concordia College - Selma in a non-conference matchup on Monday, September 21, at Dent Hall.  Game time is 7 p.m.
