SEGUIN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran's Homecoming football game with Southwestern Assemblies of God was called after a three-hour weather delay Saturday evening at Seguin's Matador Stadium.
The game was declared a no contest. The game, a non-conference contest, will not be rescheduled.
At 6:55 p.m., the game was suspended with 14:15 remaining in the second quarter, with TLU holding a 14-7 lead after a pair of
Brent Peavy (Houston/St. Pius X) touchdown passes.
The teams never went back to the field as repeated lightning strikes in the area forced mandatory 30-minute delays.
The game was called just after 10 p.m. after discussions between the two head coaches,
Danny Padron of TLU and Jesse Godding of SAGU.
The game did not meet the time limit for a full game. All statistics from the game will not be counted as official and will not be counted toward season totals.
TLU (2-0, 2-0 SCAC) will return to the field next Saturday with a road game against East Texas Baptist University. Game time for the non-conference contest is set for 6 p.m.
TLU will have a live video webcast for the game on tlubulldogs.com. Audio commentary will be provided by KWED 1580 AM in Seguin with an audio-only webcast on seguintoday.com.
SAGU (1-2) will play a road game against Oklahoma Baptist at 2 p.m. Saturday in Shawnee, Okla.
