…after beating Queen’s University in Charlotte, NC this morning, 18-6. This is our 2nd consecutive season wherein we’d swept all conference opponents.
Having already locked up the #1 seed, Utah will travel to Moon Township, PA for the conference tournament. This year’s tournament is different than last year’s, as last year only took the Top-4 seeds, whereas this year, the 1st (Utah) and 2nd (Air Force) seeded teams will be awarded a 1st-Rd bye, while #4 will face #5, and #3 (Jacksonville) will face #6 in the opening round on Tue, May 2nd. The winner of the 4/5 game will face Utah on Thu, May 5th, while the winner of the 3/6 game will draw Air Force.
The conference title game will then be played on Sat, May 7th, with the winner headed to the national tournament (Wed, May 10th thru Mon, May 29th).
Final Seeding Update:
#1 Utah (10-4)
#2 Air Force (10-5)
#3 Jacksonville (12-2)
#4 Mercer (6-9)
#5 Bellarmine (10-5)
#6 Robert Morris (7-7)
This year’s conference tournament will be played on the Home field of bottom-seeded Robert Morris, so I guess we’ll find out soon enough how much of an advantage that gives them when they’re paired up with Jacksonville.
GO UTES!!!
