HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University soccer team is set for the Southland Conference Tournament, the football and indoor volleyball teams continue league play and a beach volleyball pair tests their mettle against the nation's best during this week in Southeastern Athletics.
The Lady Lions (7-6-3, 5-4-3 SLC) will be the fifth seed in the Southland Conference Soccer Championships this week in Natchitoches, Louisiana. SLU will face HCU at 1 p.m. Wednesday in the day's first quarterfinal. The winner faces top seed Lamar Friday at 4 p.m. in the semifinals. Sunday's championship match is set for 1 p.m. with the winner earning the league's automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament.
The SLU football team (5-3, 2-1 SLC) will close out its three-game road swing this week. The Lions will travel to Lamar for a 3 p.m. Southland Conference contest Saturday in Beaumont, Texas. A win would secure the fourth straight winning season for Southeastern – the program's longest streak since its run of six straight campaigns above .500 from 1976-81.
The Southeastern volleyball team (19-6, 9-4 SLC) carries a four-match winning streak into the penultimate weekend of the regular season. The Lady Lions open the week with a 6:30 p.m. match Tuesday at Northwestern State, before heading to Lamar for a 6 p.m. league contest Thursday.
SLU returns home Saturday to host Texas A&M-Commerce for a 1 p.m. Southland match. The Lady Lions' next win will give Southeastern its first 20-win season since 1996.
The Southeastern duo of Jolie Hidalgo and Meagan Scuderi will compete as a pair at the AVCA Fall Beach Championships this week. The national competition is scheduled for Friday through Sunday in Huntsville, Alabama.
