Fresh off their 63-58 win over McNeese State Thursday night, the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack basketball team heads to Hammond, La., to take on the Southeastern Louisiana Lions. The `Jacks will be going in search of their second consecutive victory, and fourth in the last five games. The game is scheduled to get under way at 7 p.m., from the University Center. The Lumberjacks enter the game with 10-8 (.556) overall record and a 4-3 (.571) Southland Conference mark. The Lions are 15-6 (.762) overall and lead the Southland Conference with a 7-1 (.875) league record.
Junior Marcus Clark rallied the Lumberjacks to a 63-58 victory Thursday night leading SFA with 27 points and a near perfect 15-of-16 (.938) performance from the free-throw line. It was the fifth time in the last six games that Clark has scored at least 20 points in a game. The `Jacks trailed by as many as 10 in the second half before fighting their way back to take the lead and pick up their 10 victory of the season.
