Southeastern Louisiana, tied for first in the Southland Conference, faces LSU New Orleans twice this week—at home Tuesday and on the road Thursday. The Lions are chasing a regular-season title with three other teams, while the Privateers enter the series after earning their first conference win last week.

By the Numbers
  • Southeastern: 13-12 overall, 10-2 in conference.
  • LSU New Orleans: 3-22 overall, 1-11 in conference.
  • Four teams—Southeastern, UTRGV, SFA and UIW—are tied for first at 10-2, with two weeks left in the regular season.
  • Kyra McKelvey leads the conference with 341 kills; Ashley Richardson ranks fourth with 663 assists.
Yes, But

The records favor Southeastern, but LSU New Orleans has shown signs of improvement, including a three-set conference win over Nicholls last week. With four teams level atop the standings, every conference match carries added weight for the Lions.

What's Next

Both matches will stream on ESPN+. Southeastern returns home next week to face Stephen F. Austin on Nov. 12 and Lamar on Nov. 14, closing its regular season with Senior Day.

Bottom Line

Southeastern has a chance to strengthen its title bid against a lower-ranked rival—but it can’t afford to overlook a Privateers team coming off its first conference win.
