Southeastern Hosts Third Annual Sugar Beach Bash

SLU welcomes seven teams to Youngsville, La. to compete in the Sugar Beach Bash this weekend

HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University beach volleyball team will return to the sand to host its third annual Sugar Beach Bash in Youngsville, La. this weekend at the Youngsville Sports Complex.

Southeastern (3-7, 2-1 SLC) opens the weekend seeking to compound its two-match winning streak after its dominant 2-0 run in the Lions' Den Invitational. Last week, SLU defeated McNeese 4-1 before claiming its second 3-2 victory over Spring Hill. Reigning SLC Pair of the Week Aspen Steele and Anne Brauckmiller dominated at court five throughout the tournament with a 21-6, 21-11 win over the Cowgirls. The pair posted its second victory with a 21-10, 21-12 set against the Badgers. The newcomers stand 3-2 overall this season.

The Lady Lions will face Spring Hill (6-5) Friday at 8 a.m. to open the two-day tournament before taking on Central Arkansas (7-5) at 4 p.m. to end the day. Southeastern will close out day one in a rematch against UT Martin at 6 p.m.

Saturday's match against ULM is to be determined due to the possible weather conditions around the area. The Lady Lions' match against the Warhawks will close out the tournament for week four of the season.

Concluding Saturday's match, Southeastern will travel to Thibodaux, La. to participate in the Southland Conference Mid-Year Invitational. SLU will open the tournament against Boise State Friday, March 21 before moving on to face McNeese at 9 a.m. The Lady Lions will take on HCU at 1 p.m. to close out day one.
