ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Henderson State searches for its fourth-straight win on Saturday when the Reddies welcome Southeastern Oklahoma State to Carpenter-Haygood Stadium and Ruggles Field for Homecoming 2018.

TOP STORYLINES: SETTING THE SCENE
- The Reddies (4-3) have dominated their last three opponents in route to three wins. Henderson out-scored Southern Nazarene, Oklahoma Baptist and East Central 111-41 over the past three weeks.

- Southeastern Oklahoma is riding high entering Saturday's game after shutting out No. 15 Southern Arkansas 21-0 last weekend in Durant, Oklahoma. The Savage Storm have lost their last three meetings with HSU by a combined 10 points.

- Saturday is the 29th meeting all-time between the two schools. Henderson holds a 22-6 advantage all-time and has not lost to the Savage Storm since 2009.

- Head coach Scott Maxfield is now just two wins away from securing his 100th win at Henderson State. He trails Sporty Carpenter by 21 games in his quest to become the Reddies' all-time winningest coach. Should Henderson win against Southeastern, Maxfield would have a chance to notch win No. 100 at the Murphy USA Classic against SAU next Saturday.
