LOS ANGELES – The Lions are headed to Daytona Beach, Fla., this November to compete in the 2025 Sunshine Slam. LMU, winners of two of the last three MTE (multi-team events) that they’ve played in, will have another shot this season as one of the four teams in the event’s Beach bracket.

The field for the event consists of LMU, Florida Atlantic, George Mason, and Ohio playing in the Beach bracket and Bethune-Cookman, Jacksonville, Pacific, and Stony Brook competing in the Ocean bracket.
The format for the Sunshine Slam will consist of a pair of semifinal round games in each bracket on November 24 and a championship and consolation game in each bracket on November 25. Champions will be crowned for both the Beach and Ocean brackets as well as all-tournament teams being announced for each. Match-ups and schedules will be announced at a later date.
