I would really like to know how the tiebreaker was decided on the women's side.

On the men's, our men lost to Coastal 4-3 at their place earlier in the year, and I suspect we are much stronger now than then. On a netural court, I like our chances to pull the upset. That'll send us into a likely semi-final matchup with UNCA, we swept them 7-0 earlier. They are tough, but we've shown we can definitely handle them. That should set-up a rematch with Radford. Hoping to still be in Asheville on Saturday

Until next year....
Happy Summer to all!
