Storm Set for Final Regular Season Weekend

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern is set for the final weekend of the regular season, first hosting Northwestern Oklahoma State for senior day at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 in Bloomer Sullivan Arena before closing out the regular season on the road in Bethany, Okla., to take on Southern Nazarene at 2 p.m. on Feb. 27.
 
The Savage Storm head into the weekend with a 9-7 record overall in Great American Conference Western Division play and the results of this week's games will have a lot to say over the seeding in the western division.
 
Thursday's home contest will not be open to the general public, and instead will be in accordance with the Great American Conference's policy regarding attendance which allows for a limited guest list for student-athletes and full time coaches. This policy allows a set number of four guests per athlete or coach and is limited to the home team only.
 
Guests on the pass list will be required to show an ID as well as wear a mask and practice social distancing while in attendance.
 
Saturday's matchup at SNU will not allow visiting fans in.
 
The radio call of both games will be available to SE fans on the Southeastern Sports Network over the air and online, piloted by Jay Lindly from Mix 96.1.
