EDINBURG, Texas – The Southeastern Louisiana men's tennis team will open its Southland Conference schedule on Wednesday, traveling to face league foe Texas-Pan American at 1 p.m. at the Orville Cox Tennis Center.

The Lions (6-4) head into conference play fresh off a 4-3 win over Illinois State last Thursday. UTPA (2-8, 2-1 SLC) defeated Southland opponent UTSA, 4-2, in its last match.

Southeastern's top singles players have thrived at the bottom of the singles draw. Senior Guillaume Capovin heads into Wednesday's match with a team-best 8-2 singles record. Sophomore Damien Cordoba has posted a 7-3 singles mark for the Lions, while junior Benjamin Enke sports a 6-4 singles mark.

Sophomore Stepan Siska has continued to play well at the No. 1 position and comes into the match with a 5-5 singles mark. The Lion lineup has recently benefitted from the return of sophomore starters Julien Roussel (4-2) and Jan Jan Bezdecka (3-5) – both who missed significant time with injuries.

In doubles play, Southeastern has used 10 different tandems through the first 10 matches of the season. Siska and Bezdecka have teamed for a team-best 3-2 doubles mark at No. 1.

Both of UTPA's victories this season have come versus SLC opponents. The brother tandem of Brett and Beau Bernstein, lead the team with singles records of 5-3 and 5-4, respectively.

Southeastern defeated UTPA twice last season. The Lions handed the Broncs a 6-1 defeat during the regular season and eliminated UTPA with a 4-0 win in the first round of the Southland Conference Tournament.

Following Wednesday's match, Southeastern will head to San Antonio for a pair of matches. The Lions will play SLC rival UTSA on Saturday at 12 p.m. and DePaul on Sunday.
