CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – A 55-game schedule with 28 games at Capaha Field is in store for Southeast Missouri this upcoming 2024 season.
 
SEMO opens the year with a three-game series at reigning Conference USA Champion Dallas Baptist (Feb. 16-18), one of two 2023 NCAA Tournament teams on the docket. DBU went 47-16 overall and 25-5 in C-USA play en route to making the Stillwater, Oklahoma NCAA Regional a year ago.
 
The Redhawks host former Ohio Valley Conference member Murray State (Feb. 20) in their home-opener on the front end of a home-and-home series. SEMO will return the trip to Murray, Kentucky on Apr. 16.
 
SEMO's other matchups prior to the start of conference action include a pair of four-game home series with St. Thomas (Feb. 23-25) and Toledo (Mar. 1-3), a three-game set against Western Kentucky (Mar. 16-17), a road series at Marshall (Mar. 8-10) and midweek bouts at Missouri (Feb. 27), vs. Middle Tennessee (Mar. 5), at Evansville (Mar. 13) and at Austin Peay (Mar. 19).
 
The Redhawks begin their 27-game OVC schedule at Eastern Illinois (Mar. 22-24), which won three-straight elimination games to claim last year's OVC Tournament crown. EIU advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008.
 
SEMO's other conference road opponents include Little Rock (Apr. 5-7), Tennessee Tech (Apr. 19-21), Lindenwood (May 3-5) and first-year OVC member Western Illinois (May 10-12).
 
SIU Edwardsville (Mar. 28-30) comes to Cape Girardeau for the Redhawks first home OVC series, while Southern Indiana (Apr. 12-14), Morehead State (Apr. 26-28) and UT Martin (May 16-18) are SEMO's other home league foes.
 
The rest of the 2024 schedule features home-and-home midweek series against Missouri State (Mar. 26, Apr. 2) and longtime rival Southern Illinois (Apr. 9, Apr. 23), and another midweek game vs. Evansville (Apr. 30).
