INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. --- The ODAC will be represented by not one but two squads in the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Tournament, slated to begin next weekend at eight regional sites across the country. Virginia Wesleyan University, winners of the ODAC title and its automatic bid to the tournament, is joined by at-large selection Randolph-Macon College in the national field.

The NCAA bracket is comprised of 64 teams set to compete on the national stage. Like Virginia Wesleyan, 43 schools earned entry via automatic qualification by winning their league championships. One school, Marymount University (Va.), earned a Pool "B" bid as an independent or school that plays in a league that does not have an automatic entry. The remaining 20 squads earned at-large selections from the national volleyball committee.

Both Randolph-Macon and Virginia Wesleyan will play out of the same eight-team regional hosted by Christopher Newport University. The Marlins (28-7) open with Juniata College (22-8), winners of the Landmark Conference AQ. A victory for VWU would mean a second round date with either Trinty University (Texas)(33-4) or Hunter College (15-17). The Tigers won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) title, while the Hawks secured the City University of New York Athletic Conferene (CUNYAC) crown.

The Yellow Jackets (25-8) kickoff NCAA play with Marymount (24-10). R-MC topped the Saints, 3-1, during the regular season. A second triumph for Randolph-Macon would setup a showdown with either host Christopher Newport (26-8) or Stevenson University (29-2). The Captains won the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) title, while the Mustangs earned the MAC Commonwealth Conference automatic bid.

Regional play is set for Friday-Sunday, November 15-17, save for the regional hosted in Grand Rapids, Mich., and St. Paul Minnesota. Those will be played Thursday-Saturday, November 14-16. The eight regional winners will head to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the national championship series on November 21-23 in the U.S. Cellular Center. The American Rivers Conference (ARC) will serve as the host.
