GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- Through a three-way tiebreaker, Gwynedd Mercy was selected as the top seed for the 2014 CSAC Women's Tennis Team Tournament which kicks off on Friday.
The Griffins will take on #4 Immaculata on Friday at 9:30 a.m. at the Legacy Tennis Courts located in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia. Following that match, #2 Cabrini will take on #3 Marywood with the winners meeting on Saturday starting at 3:30 p.m. for the title. The scoring format of the tournament has a general best-of-nine format, with the first team to win five matches is declared the winner. At stake is the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Team Tournament which takes place in May 2015.
Gwynedd Mercy is looking to repeat and claim their sixth crown in the last seventh seasons. Last year, the Griffins took down Immaculata in the semifinal and defeated Marywood in the final to avenge a loss in the championship to the Pacers back in 2012.
Gwynedd, Cabrini, and Marywood all finished the season with 9-1 conference records while the Mighty Macs went 7-3.
""Making the playoffs for the 10th-straight year is obviously a nice accomplishment. Our first focus is on the Immaculata, who have really had a solid season, and simply cannot be overlooked. I knew that they would be strong before the season even started," states head coach
Jim Holt.
Live updates will be available for all three matches over the weekend.
