Medaille will take on #1 seed and two time defending champion Franciscan University in the first match next Saturday, with a 3:30pm start.  Penn St. Altoona and Mount Aloysius will commence immediately following the conclusion of the first match.  The finals will be at 1:30pm on Sunday.  All matches will be held at Westwood Racquet Club in Erie, PA.

The winner will receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament in May.
