HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University beach volleyball team will continue its road stretch in Lake Pontchartrain to compete in the Tulane Bayou Beach Duals at the White Sands Beach Volleyball Facility.
Southeastern (2-7, 1-1 SLC) will return to the sand after finishing 2-1 in the Pontchartrain Beach Bash last weekend in New Orleans, La. The Lady Lions fell against conference foe UNO, before closing out day two of the tournament 2-0 against conference rival McNeese and the College of Charleston. Fifth-year senior Makayla Hicks and freshman Cadie Kusy stand 3-0 on Court 4 as a spark of momentum and a dominant duo for SLU so far this season.
The Lady Lions will have an early start in the sand versus UTEP (2-6, 1-0) Friday at 8:30 a.m. before facing Texas A&M-Kingsville (9-2) at 11 a.m. to close out the day. UTEP will seek to bounce back and snap its six-match losing streak while the Javelinas will look to compound its three-match winning streak.
SLU will return to the sand to close out the weekend against Central Arkansas (4-7) Saturday at 11 a.m. Southeastern will end the day against host Tulane (6-7) at 4 p.m. before a quick turnaround to face conference rival Nicholls (6-4, 0-1 SLC) at 5:15 p.m.
Concluding the Tulane Bayou Beach Duals, SLU will return to Hammond, America for its first home match of the season to host Spring Hill Tuesday, March 17 at 1 p.m.
