HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana basketball, baseball, softball, tennis and track and field teams will all be in action during this week in Southeastern Athletics.
 
The Lion basketball team (10-15, 8-6 Southland) will hit the road for the final time during this regular season. Southeastern currently sits in fourth in the Southland Conference standings and is looking to secure a first-round bye in the upcoming Southland Conference Tournament. The Lions will open the week on Thursday, facing Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 7:30 p.m. before heading to Sam Houston State for a 3:45 p.m. contest in Huntsville, Texas.
 
The Lady Lion basketball team (10-15, 3-11 Southland) will look to keep its postseason hopes alive on the final road swing of 2012-13. Southeastern needs to win its remaining four games and have either Northwestern State or Stephen F. Austin lose the remainder of their contests to secure its fifth consecutive postseason appearance. On Thursday, Southeastern faces A&M-Corpus Christi at 5 p.m., while Sam Houston State awaits on Saturday for a 1:30 p.m. contest.
 
The Lion baseball team (5-2) returns home this week to host a three-game series with Texas Southern at Alumni Field. The series opens with a 6 p.m. contest on Friday, before continuing with a 2 p.m. game on Saturday. First pitch of the series finale is set for Sunday at 1 p.m.
 
Several promotions will be held in conjunction with the series versus TSU. Friday will be $5 Friday, as a select food item and non-alcoholic beverage will be available for just $5. Saturday, we'll be playing Bingo at the Ballpark, as 20 fans will walk away with prizes courtesy of Southeastern Athletics. Sunday is Academy Family Sunday in the Park, sponsored by Academy Sports and Outdoors. Children ages 12 and under can enjoy Roomie's Kid Zone and will have the opportunity to join the Lions on the field for the national anthem. After the game, kids can run the bases and receive autographs from the Lion baseball team.
 
After playing in tournaments during the first three weeks of the season, the Southeastern softball team (10-5) only has one game on tap for this week. The Lady Lions will host Alcorn State at 6 p.m. at North Oak Park on Wednesday. It will be “Wingin' It Wednesday” in conjunction with the contest and the first 50 Southeastern students in attendance will receive free wings courtesy of Southeastern Athletics.
 
The undefeated Southeastern tennis team (6-0) hosts three matches this week. On Thursday, the Lions welcome Southern Miss to the Southeastern Tennis Complex for a 6 p.m. match. Students in attendance will receive free pizza as available courtesy of Southeastern Athletics. On Sunday, Southeastern will host a pair of matches, welcoming Southern at 11 a.m. and Xavier (N.O.) at 6 p.m.
 
Fresh off a strong performance at the Southland Conference Indoor Championships, the track and field teams will be back in action on Friday. The Lions and Lady Lions will compete in the LSU NCAA Indoor Qualifier that starts at 2 p.m. in Baton Rouge.
