HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University Beach Volleyball team heads west for six matches set in California for the week.
 
SLU (9-10, 3-4 SLC) opens the week looking to extend its winning streak after defeating conference foe Nicholls 4-1 to close out day three of the SLC Mid-Season Invitational in New Orleans, Louisiana. Southeastern ended the weekend with a split 3-3 record in the tournament as Texas A&M-Corpus Christi secured the conference regular season title.
 
Southeastern open serves Wednesday afternoon at 12 p.m. against the home-standing CSUN Matadors (13-12), the first of two matches. The Matadors fell 3-2 to Tulane before gaining a victory over California State-Bakersfield last weekend at home. The Lady Lions will return to the sand at 2 p.m. to rematch against CSUN to conclude their time in Northridge, California.
 
Friday morning at 11 a.m. SLU will move on to face Pepperdine (12-10) in the Waves Tournament in Malibu, California before taking on UC Davis (14-12, 2-4) at 2 p.m. to continue its road game stretch.
