Tipping Off
The Southern Arkansas Lady Muleriders are 3-0 entering play this afternoon against Southeastern Oklahoma. The perfect start to the season has in the Lady Muleriders in the
midst of their best start to a season since 2004-05 when they opened that campaign 4-0. In order to match that start, the Lady Muleriders must do something that the have
not done very often, win on the road at Southeastern. All-time, the Lady Muleriders are 2-5 at Southeastern, but one of those wins came just two seasons ago and a side note to the 3-0 start, all three wins have come on the road.

The Lady Muleriders will also be looking to exact some revenge over Southeastern after last season when the Savage Storm picked up a pair of one-sided victories over SAU. The combined scoring margin between SAU and Southeastern last season was +19.0 in favor of Southeastern.
