NATCHITOCHES—While its seed line at next week's Southland Conference Tournament is locked into place, there is still plenty to play for in the regular season finale.

That final regular season game is also the last time fans can see the Demons (16-13, 13-8) at Prather Coliseum when they host New Orleans (3-26, 3-18) on Tuesday.

Tip-off is at 6:30.

NSU is locked into the No. 5 seed in the SLC Tournament, but the Demons still have plenty to chase.

The 13 conference wins are the most since 2016-17. With a victory, it will be the most conference wins since also posting 14 during the 2003-04 season.

"We are looking forward to playing in Prather one final time this season in front of our home crowd," head coach Anna Nimz said. "Our main focus is correcting our mistakes from the first time we played UNO and growing off our last two games against Corpus and UTRGV.

"We need to lock in, play hard and inch closer and closer to 40 minutes of good game play. We have the opportunity to fight for one final regular season conference win, against a very gritty UNO team, and put together our most conference wins over the last 23 years. "

Coming off a game in which the Demons made 13 3-pointers against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, they now play UNO, the opponent in which they also drained 13 deep shots against in the first meeting.

Vernell Atamah made five of the 3-pointers in the win Saturday at AMCC, and her triple total is at 85 this season, just three shy of the program's record for single season 3-pointers of 88, set by Beatrice Attura in 2016-17.

Nya Valentine also buried five triples in the win at AMCC, giving her 67 on the season, and she has gone 10-for-21 from deep in the last two games.

With three made 3-pointers, she would move into the top 10 for made triples in a single season in program history.

Atamah and Valentine have combined for 152 of the 217 made 3-pointers by the Demons this season, as the team is on the verge of breaking the program's single season 3-point record of 223, set last season.

The Demons used the deep ball to jump out to a 20-2 advantage in the first meeting in New Orleans, making six 3-pointers in the first 5:04 en route to a dominant 78-61 road victory.

In addition to the graduate student Valentine, Carla Celaya, Tiara Abron and Dasia Turner are also playing the final home game of their careers.

On Senior Day in the last home game against Houston Christian, Turner turned in her finest day as a Demon with 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Celaya has been a defensive stalwart and rebounding machine this season. She has had double digit rebounds in three of the last six games and nine overall this season.

Abron  had another double digit scoring performance against the Islanders, scoring 10 points and tying a season best with three steals.

Since the calendar turned to 2026, she has put together 14 double digit scoring efforts in her last 16 games. That includes a 17-point outburst in the win over East Texas A&M.

Despite the loss in the first meeting, UNO had solid performances, led by16 points from Shanihya Brown and 10 from Mariah Hart. Hailee Brennen nearly posted a double-double with eight points and 11 rebounds.

Next up following the contest is a trip to the SLC Tournament in Lake Charles, which begins for the Demons on March 9 against the No. 8 seed, either East Texas A&M or Nicholls, at 11 a.m.
