About the Team

The Fall season consists of conference matches with a four team playoff on a single weekend in November where the winner will compete in a 'play-in' game at a later date for a chance to enter the national playoff in the Spring. The  playoffs consist of a sweet-16 and Elite-8 matches on one weekend in December and the final four on a separate date in the Spring semester.
