SLU Set to Host SLC Mid-Season Invitational

Southeastern travels to Youngsville, La. to host the SLC Mid-Season Event to compete against conference foes

HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University beach volleyball team will return to the sand to host the Southland Conference Mid-Season Invitational at the Youngsville Sports Complex. 

Southeastern (6-9, 2-1 SLC) will embark on a two-day tournament in Youngsville, La. against conference foes after claiming a 4-1 victory at home against Spring Hill earlier this week. The Lady Lions dominated versus the Badgers, only dropping on one court as the visitors avoided the shutout. Reigning SLC Pair of the Week Makayla Hicks and Cadie Kusy secured their fifth-straight win with a 21-17, 21-11 edge as pair four. 

SLU will open serve with an early start in the sand against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (8-8, 1-0 SLC) Saturday at 9 a.m. before facing HCU (1-14, 0-1 SLC) at 1 p.m. to close out the day. The Islanders will seek to continue their three-match winning streak while the Huskies will look to snap their 14-match losing streak to gain momentum on the road.

The Lady Lions will return to the sand Sunday morning to face Stephen F. Austin (4-6, 1-1 SLC) at 9 a.m. before their rematch against conference rival Nicholls (6-8, 0-2 SLC) at 1 p.m. to end the weekend. SFA will enter the weekend looking to bounce back from its four-match losing streak while the Colonels seek to claim its first conference win of the season.

Concluding the SLC Mid-Season Invitational, SLU will travel to Lake Charles, La. to compete in the Sandy Polk Invitational Saturday, March 28. Southeastern will face conference rival McNeese and Tarleton State on the road.
