PORT ARTHUR, Texas – The season opener for the Lamar State College Port Arthur softball team was once again delayed by a week after the forecast for cold weather conditions this weekend forced cancellation of the Mardi Gras Invitational scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Youngsville, La.

The Seahawks are now scheduled to start the season when they open Region XIV play with a doubleheader at Paris Junior College at 1 p.m. Feb. 7. LSCPA will be at Trinity Valley Community College for a 1 p.m. doubleheader the following day.

The Seahawks come off their most successful season in a while, going 23-23 in 2025. Head coach Brittany Baker is confident this year's squad will eclipse the .500 mark and be a force in the Region XIV Tournament set for May 13-16 in San Jacinto, Texas.

The Seahawks' first home date is a Region XIV doubleheader against Kilgore College at 1 p.m. Feb. 25. Overall, the Seahawks are scheduled to have eight home doubleheaders this season.
