ODAC Men's Lax Tournament Set
Hornets Own Top Seed Heading Into Postseason Play
FOREST, Va. --- Lynchburg College will
play out the No. 1 position heading into the 2012 ODAC Men’s
Lacrosse Tournament, which is set to begin later this week.
The Hornets (15-1 overall, 7-0 ODAC), ranked third by the latest
USILA poll, own one of two byes heading into the semifinals.
Roanoke College (11-3, 6-1), who is tied for ninth in the nation,
commands the other bye as the second seed.
Hampden-Sydney College (9-6, 5-2) and Randolph-Macon College (9-7,
3-4) will serve as hosts for the quarterfinal matchups as the third
and fourth seeds, respectively. The Tigers earned their spot
outright, but the Yellow Jackets, Virginia Wesleyan College (9-6,
3-4) and Washington and Lee University (8-8, 3-4) all had identical
league records, which called for the ODAC’s tie-breaking
procedures to determine the final three positions. The
fifth-seeded Marlins will make the trip to R-MC for their
opening contest, and the No. 6 Generals will play at Hampden-Sydney
on Wednesday.
Play is set to begin on Wednesday, April 25, with both quarterfinal
contests. Dates for the semifinal and championship matchups
have not yet been set due to possible conflicts with exam schedules
and/or graduation dates. The semifinals will take place on
either Saturday, April 28 or Sunday, April 29. The
championship will be played on Saturday, May 5 or Sunday May
6. All games are to be played on the campuses of the highest
remaining seeds. Information on dates and times will be
posted as it becomes available.
