HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana men's tennis team will return to Southland Conference action on Wednesday, when it hosts league rival Nicholls State at 2 p.m. at the Southeastern Tennis Complex.

The Lions (6-8, 0-2 SLC) will be looking for their first SLC victory and to snap a four-match losing streak. The Colonels (7-6, 0-2 SLC) have won four consecutive matches heading into Wednesday's contest.

Southeastern is led in singles play by senior Guillaume Capovin, who has a 10-4 singles record, playing predominantly at the No. 4 position. At No. 3, sophomore Damien Cordoba has a 9-5 singles mark, while junior Benjamin Enke has posted an 8-6 singles record at No. 2.

Sophomore Stepan Siska (5-9) joins Cordoba and Enke at the top of the singles draw. Sophomores Julien Roussel (4-3), Jan Bezdecka (5-7) and Alexis Biarneix (3-3) round out the Lion singles lineup. Enke and Siska make up the team's top doubles team with a record of 4-3 at No. 1.

Nicholls is led by Eric Fisher and Abhaya Parash - both who come into Wednesday's match with a 10-3 singles record in dual match play. Fisher and Phenyo Matong comprise the team's top doubles tandem with an 8-3 mark. The Lions defeated NSU, 4-3, in Thibodaux last season.

Nicholls State is the first of two Southland Conference opponents to visit Hammond this week, as the Lions will host Lamar on Friday at 2 p.m.
