February 09, 2006
Shreveport, LA---The LSUS Pilots have accumulated a resume that boasts a 21-3 overall record and they have climbed back into the NAIA Top 5 teams this week. The Pilots are currently No. 4 in the latest NAIA polls, just seven points behind the No. 3 Azusa Pacific University.
With just four regular season games remaining, the Pilots have put themselves in great shape to qualify for their second straight NAIA national tournament appearance. First and foremost however, the Pilots are looking to capture their second Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championship, but are currently one game behind the Spring Hill College Badgers.
The Pilots are in action tonight on the road against the Southern University of New Orleans, and then will have eight days to prepare for the Badgers who will be coming to Shreveport February 18th. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00pm.
