 Photo By: LSUsports.net Da Boot Sports 5/2/2025 LSU Sports Communications By: LSU Staff Gulf Shores, Ala. – The LSU Beach Volleyball fell to No. 6 Cal Poly in a hard-fought battle to close out the 2025 season. All courts but Court 1 went into extra points in the first set. Emily Meyer and Skylar Martin lost Court 4; 22-20 and 14-21, while Kate Baker and Tatum Finlason lost Court 5; 24-26 and 10-21, to give Cal Poly a 2-0 lead in the duel. Elle Evers and Julia Sprecher fought but ultimately fell short, losing Court 3; 22-24 and 19-21. Gabi Bailey and Parker Bracken on Court 1 and Aubrey O’Gorman and Camryn Chatellier did not complete their matches due to the duel being played to decision. “It’s not possible to put into words the combination of how proud I am and how tough it is to be done,” said head coach Russell Brock. “We knew this would be a really challenging match, but to lose in such an amazingly close manner makes it sting a little more. We played great and played well enough to win, but it just didn’t go our way. So many of the things that were in our control we executed amazingly. The season as a whole was one of the most gratifying ones I’ve been a part of. From where we started to where we finished, the team is almost unrecognizable. It will be impossible to replace our seniors, Gabi, Parker, Emily, Madison, and Cassidy. I’m so grateful for how they have influenced our program. While we will miss them, their leadership and the remarkable example they set, it’s impossible not to recognize how capable our young returning players on our roster are. I’m so proud of our whole team and staff for the season we had. I’m also excited about the future of our program.” John 14:6 - "I am the way and the truth and the life.

I’m looking forward to seeing how we respond after a long, hot day today.’ LSU started out the day with a 4-1 win over South Florida.

 Photo By: Corey Perrillioux Da Boot Sports 3/29/2025 LSU Sports Communications By: LSU Staff BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU track and field team closed out the Battle on the Bayou at home on Saturday, hosted at the Bernie Moore Track & Field Stadium. The end half of the meet was eventually canceled due to the weather.Final Results One of the biggest moments from Saturday’s action came from freshman Jelani Watkins in heat two of the 100 meter. The race marked his collegiate opener in the event and he made his way to a time of 10.01 seconds (+2.1 m/s), just over the wind-legal limit of 2.0 m/s. Watkins finished taking second next to the World-Championship competitor Eddie Nketia by just .004 of a second. The time tied him with Nketia for the national lead and makes him the sole leader of the SEC. The meet finished early due to inclement weather, but it only took Jevan Parara one throw to leave his mark at the meet. Parara tossed the No. 8 mark in LSU performance-list history of 56.13 meters (184’ 2”) on his first and only attempt. Freshman Chad Hendricks took second behind him, also only getting one throw due to the weather, reaching the distance of 55.06 meters (180’ 7”). Sophomore Leah Acosta had an injury scare last season that left her unable to walk and required screws in her ankle. Today she made her collegiate debut in disc throw and was able to crack the LSU Top-10 list in it. Acosta reached a mark of 51.88 meters (170’ 2”) on her fifth toss of the afternoon, putting her at No. 9 in LSU history. She also recorded a PR of 14.60 meters (47’ 10.75” in shot put, which was just short of the LSU PL. Taylor Fingers leaped out to a win today in her triple-jump opener. The sophomore reached a distance of 13.04 meters (42’ 9.5”) to earn the win, but the mark was over the allowable wind limit of +4.0 m/s. Her top legal mark on the day came in at 12.68 meters (41’ 7.25”). The men’s high jump was one of the few events going on when the meet eventually was canceled due to the weather, but the event was moved inside to close the meet. Freshman Kam Franklin reached a personal-best height of 2.17 meters (7’ 1.25”) to finish third in his opener. Franklin’s height puts him at No. 8 on the all-time LSU PL outdoors.

The Sandy Tigs are back on the road next weekend to Tallahassee, Florida for the Unconquered Invitational. “Today is a day that our team grew up a little bit,” said head coach Russell Brock. “You couldn’t have had a longer day of competition and there wasn’t any break in the programs we had to play against today. To play three top teams that the rest of the country assumed were better than us by a pretty significant margin and to come out with two wins and push the match with the number one team in the country to the very edge of victory, I couldn’t be prouder of this group. Obviously, we still have another match to play tomorrow against another really good team, so there’s still work left to do, but I can’t wait to see how we respond to another matchup against one of the top teams in the country.

You could tell that we were a little timid, not quite as aggressive as we should be. We had a great conversation afterwards and talked about how when you play good teams, you have to trust your game and continue to play as an aggressor. I was really happy with the response in the second match. I thought we played that way and the results showed. Anytime we play, we expect a win, and hope to get a win. We didn’t get one today, but there’s no doubt that we improved. Looking forward to tomorrow and the challenges that it brings.” LSU began the day with a 0-5 loss against No. 2 LMU, where all courts lost in straight sets.
