New conference, no problem.
LeTourneau volleyball became the first team to play, and win, a SCAC contest in the school’s new era.
The YellowJackets picked up this historic feat against the Centenary Ladies in fascinating fashion with a 3-0 sweep (25-11, 25-22, 25-14).
Aubree McCann and Nora Lockhart led the team in kills with eight apiece. McCann tacked on a pair of service aces, while Lockhart had an absurd .700 hitting percentage.
Emily Mullin made her presence known all over the court, picking up 16 assists, three service aces, and four kills.
Hailee Perry served up 17 assists, Kaylyn Taylor added seven kills (.333), and Emma Smith continued her efficient season, garnering six kills (.750) with zero attack errors.
After an early battle for momentum, LeTourneau (9-4, 1-0 SCAC) broke open a 4-4 tie, rattling off a 13-1 run. This lead was more than enough to give the Jackets a safe lead, eventually taking the set 25-11.
The YellowJackets host Ozarks for a SCAC matchup in Solheim Arena on Saturday (1 p.m.).

SOCCER
SUWANEE, Ga. — LeTourneau women’s soccer goalkeeper Kinsey Fulks was awarded the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
The award is the second weekly honor for Fulks during her 2025 freshman campaign, and her second in the last three weeks.
Fulks made 12 saves in two matches last week, including 11 against Howard Payne on Tuesday. She allowed just two goals in 135 minutes of play, including a key stretch of 82:41 against Howard Payne that allowed LeTourneau to set the program record for consecutive minutes of shutout soccer (535:31).
The YellowJackets are 5-1-1 on the season following a dominant 5-0 win against MUW on Saturday. They return to action on Friday at home against Concordia Texas at 5 p.m.
