Championship Saturday


We have reached Championship Saturday here at the DII Spring Sports Festival and the Armstrong State women's tennis team has arrived to begin pre-game warmups for the 9 am MT tilt against BYU-Hawaii. Just a reminder, you can watch all the action today through NCAA.com and follow live stats via Statbrodcast.

The last time Armstrong State and BYU-Hawaii faced off, it was the 2013 NCAA DII National Championship match in Arizona. None of the players in that matchup, however, are on either team today so it really is a bit of an unknown battle despite the amount of times these two teams have faced each other over the years. BYU Hawaii held off a furious comeback from Saint Leo yesterday in singles, winning 5-3 after going up 2-1 in doubles. The Seasiders actually trailed St. Mary's (Texas) 2-1 in doubles in the quarterfinals before winning 5-2. 

Doubles will be key and whichever team today has the edge going into singles will have a huge advantage in trying to bring home the trophy!
