SALEM, Va. --- Defending ODAC champion

Tournament following a 9-0 record in conference play. The
Tigers, who are 12-3 in overall action, currently stand
27th in latest ITA NCAA Division III National Poll.

seed. Both squads feature players rated in the ITA
Atlantic-South Region rankings. The Generals’ Hayden
White is fourth while three-time ODAC Player of the Year, Williams
Moss, heads the Tigers as the 10th slotted player in the

but a three-way tie for fourth required conference tie-breakers to
set the next three seeds. Emory & Henry College (15-5,
5-4) is the fourth seed and will open tournament play against fifth
seeded Roanoke College (7-8, 5-4). Guilford College sits
sixth (6-6, 5-4) while Lynchburg College (4-9, 3-6) and Virginia
