TUSCULUM WOMEN'S SOCCER SEEDED FIFTH FOR SAC TOURNAMENT,
PIONEERS
AT CARSON-NEWMAN WEDNESDAY
ROCK HILL, S.C.
--- The Tusculum College
women's soccer team will be the No. 5 seed in this week's Food Lion South
Atlantic Conference Tournament and will travel to fourth-seeded Carson-Newman College this Wednesday afternoon at McCown Field at 3 p.m.
Tusculum and Carson-Newman tied for fourth
place in the final conference standings, but the Lady Eagles gain the No. 4
spot by virtue of its 1-0 win over TC during the regular season.
Amazingly, this quarterfinal
round match-up will pit the top two ranked teams in the latest NCAA Division II
Southeast Region poll. Carson-Newman is
No. 1 and Tusculum
was listed at No. 2. The last time these
two teams met in Jefferson City was at last
year's NCAA Southeast Region final, which Tusculum
won 1-0 in double-overtime as the Pioneers advanced to the National Elite
Eight.
Lincoln Memorial
University is the top
seed in this year's tournament as the Lady Railsplitters
captured its first SAC Championship. LMU
will host No. 8 Wingate University on Wednesday afternoon. Newberry
College is the No. 2 seed and they
will host seventh-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne College,
while No. 3 Catawba College faces No. 6 Mars Hill College in a quarterfinal
match.
The winner of the
Tusculum/Carson-Newman match will face the winner of the LMU/Wingate contest on
Friday in a SAC Tournament semifinal match at Manchester Meadows in Rock Hill, S.C.
beginning at 6 p.m. The tournament
championship match will be held in Rock
Hill on Sunday.
Tusculum will be in quest of its fifth SAC
Tournament Championship (2000, 2001, 2003, 2005).
