HAMMOND, La. – Due to expected local effects from Tropical Storm Rafael, the Southeastern Louisiana University football team's scheduled Southland Conference game versus Northwestern State will be moved up to a noon kickoff Saturday in Strawberry Stadium.
 
With weather conditions forecasted to deteriorate later in the day, the game has been rescheduled from the original 6 p.m. kickoff to ensure the game's completion and assist with the visiting Demons' safe return to Natchitoches.
