HAMMOND, La. - Just under a month after Southeastern beat an FBS opponent for the first time in program history, the Lions returned home to Hammond for the first time in the month of October and upset the No. 10 Lamar Cardinals 34-31 on homecoming week.

This was head coach Frank Scelfo's fifth win over a top-ten opponent in Scelfo's 100th game in charge of the Lions program.

The ground game was the focal point of the Lions' offense. Southeastern ran the ball 39 times for 5.7 yards per attempt. Quarterback Kyle Lowe got the bulk of the work, leading the team with 12 carries and 80 yards. In total, the Lions rushed for 224 yards and four touchdowns. Two of those were Lowe's

After beating the Cardinals, the Lions are 4-3 with a 2-2 record in the Southland Conference. Since losing to South Alabama, the Lions have won four of their last five, with the only loss coming against UT Rio Grande Valley.
