Southeastern came out on top in the three-game series against Stephen F. Austin during the weekend of April 22. The series was highlighted by strong hits by the Lady Lions, including a three-run home run by junior Meghan Gomez, and seven strike outs from sophomore pitcher Kenna Terry.

The volleyball tournament, taking place in three side-by-side water-filled mud pits, draws students from all across campus to compete in filth for the winning title and a nice sized trophy.

Competitors from all across the southern region of the U.S. came to showcase their skills in kata and kumite, from white belts to black, and from kids to adults. The tournament was exciting, and provided me with a variety of shots from four different rings of action. (more…)
