lady fire ready to join sun conference

Southeastern Coach Terry Thomas and the Lady Fire are excited about their historical 2009 season.

This year marks Southeastern's first year within the NAIA's Sun Conference.

Southeastern returns eight players from last year's team that won a school-record 30 games.

NCCAA All-Americans Casey Jensen and Heather Johnson return this year, along with senior Stephanie Bower, who was a Second Team All-Region player in 2008.

Southeastern will host 12 home games this season, starting with its home opener versus Ave Maria University on Friday, August 28.
