HAMMOND, La.  – The Southeastern Louisiana soccer and volleyball teams will be in action during this week in Southeastern Athletics.
 
The Lady Lion soccer team will host a pair of in-state opponents to officially open the 2019 season. SLU, which blanked UL Lafayette, 2-0, last Friday in an exhibition match, will host Louisiana Tech in a 7 p.m. match on Friday at Strawberry Stadium. ULM visits on Sunday for a 5 p.m. non-conference match.
 
The Southeastern Sports Network will offer a free video stream of both of this week's soccer matches.

The Southeastern volleyball team will host its annual Green and Gold intra-squad match to prepare for next week's opener. The match is scheduled for Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in the University Center. Admission to all SLU home soccer and volleyball matches is free.
 
Southeastern Louisiana Athletics will host Strawberry Jam on Tuesday and Lionpawlooza in conjunction with the Hammond Downtown Development District's "Hot August Night" on Friday, to help kick off the 2019-20 SLU Athletics year.
 
Sponsored by Olive Garden, Strawberry Jam is open exclusively to Southeastern students and is set for 6:30 p.m. at Strawberry Stadium. If there's inclement weather, the event will be held in the parking garage adjacent to Strawberry Stadium.
 
The first 600 students in attendance will receive free food from presenting sponsor Olive Garden and a free t-shirt. A pep rally featuring football, soccer and volleyball student-athletes will kick off the event. The Southeastern cheerleaders, the Lionnettes dance team and the Spirit of the Southland band will also be in attendance.
 
Local DJ K Strikez will provide musical entertainment. Students will also be able to enjoy yard games and interactive inflatables.
 
Southeastern will play its part in the DDD's Hot August Night, by holding its annual Lionpawlooza event on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Led by the Southeastern fire truck, the Southeastern cheerleaders, Lionnettes, Roomie the Lion and the Spirit of the Southland Band will march down East Thomas Street from First Guaranty Bank to the Main DDD stage.
 
A pep rally opens this year's event, which will be held in the parking lot on the corner of South Cate Street and West Thomas Street across the street from Aveda Arts and Sciences Institute. The pep rally will feature the Southeastern football and volleyball teams, as well as the band, cheerleaders and Lionnettes.
 
Following the pep rally, fans will have the opportunity to receive autographs from members of the 2019 Lions and Lady Lions. There will also be giveaways available, chances to spin the SLU Athletics prize wheel and Northshore Broadcasting will provide the musical entertainment.
