It is Official: Riser in at SLU

Southeastern Louisiana University announced  following a national search it has 

named Matt Riser as the Lions' 16th head baseball coach. The decision was announced 

by athletic director Jay Artiques, the Lions' former head baseball coach, who named 

Riser as the interim head coach back in June when he moved into school 

administration. The 30-year-old Riser is one of the youngest at the NCAA Division I 

level. Riser said, " It's a dream come true, especially being this close to home. 

The ultimate goal is to have your own program, but it's so much more than an 

individual accomplishment," said Riser. Riser joined the Lions' staff in 2008 as 

a volunteer assistant coach under Artigues. Artigues said,  "I'm really excited to

 see Matt take over at the helm of the baseball program. It's something special to 

my heart, spending eight years to take the program to the level it's at now. It was 

important to hire someone who could not only take the baton and keep it at that 

level, but take it to the next level. Eight years ago, our program was at the 

bottom of the Southland Conference, and now we're knocking on the door every 

year," said Artigues. Riser, from Picayune, resides in Hammond with his wife 

Jeanette. He earned his bachelor's degree in biochemical engineering from 

Tulane University in 2007. As a junior he played a vital role in helping the 

Green Wave reach the 2005 College World Series. As a senior, Riser homered 

three times, drove in 37 runs and ripped 16 doubles. Riser played for Artigues 

at Pearl River Community College, where he earned All-Region XXII honors and 

region XXII Defwensive player of the Year as a sophomore. He hit .376 as a sophomore 

and .347 as a freshman. He compiled 110 hits, 30 doubles and 109 runs scored in 

his two-year junior college career.
