The 2018 Southland Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships, crucial league
series for baseball and softball and Bunko for Basketball are all on tap during this
week in Southeastern Athletics. The Lions and Lady Lion track and field teams will be in San Antonio, Texas to
compete in the league meet. The meet runs Friday through Sunday on the campus of the
University of Incarnate Word. Currently in second place in the league standings after a series sweep of Stephen
F. Austin, the Lion baseball team (30-17, 17-7 Southland) will have a chance to move
closer to the top of the Southland Conference standings this week. The Lions will
travel to Huntsville, Texas to face conference leader Sam Houston State in a three-game
series. The series opens with a 6:30 p.m. contest on Friday, continues on Saturday
at 3 p.m. and concludes on Sunday at 1 p.m. Having already set a new single-season school record for victories and secured
a spot in next week’s Southland Conference Tournament, the SLU softball team (34-17,
17-7 Southland) will close out the regular season with a three-game series at McNeese.
The series opens with a 6 p.m. contest on Friday and concludes with a noon doubleheader
on Saturday. Southeastern heads into the week a game behind conference leader Nicholls. The
Colonels host Lamar for a three-game series on Friday and Saturday in Thibodaux. The Southeastern women’s basketball program and the Lion Athletics Association
will partner to present Bunko for Basketball on Friday, May 4, from 6-9 p.m. in the
SLU War Memorial Student Union Ballroom. Dinner opens the event at 6 p.m., followed by fun and fast-paced Bunko games
beginning at 7 p.m. In addition to Bunko, attendees can celebrate Cinco de Mayo early
with the Lady Lions by enjoying Mexican cuisine and margaritas. Raffles, prizes and
a silent auction are also part of the festivities. Tickets are on sale now for $40, while admission will be $45 at the door on the
day of the event. Tickets can be purchased online at www.LionSports.net/bunko2018
