SEEDINGS FOR SSAC WOMEN'S TOURNAMENT RELEASED
Dahlonega, Ga.. - It came down to the last day of the regular season, but the 2004-05 SSAC Women's Basketball tournament seeding has been finalized. The last seeds to be set were the 3/4 and 7/8 slots. Lee lost to Georgia Southwestern last night giving Berry the #3 spot and Emmanuel lost to Reinhardt giving Shorter the #7 spot.
The seeding for the tournament will be as follows:
#1 North Georgia 18-2 (22-7)
#2 Brewton-Parker 18-2 (30-2)
#3 Berry 13-7 (20-11)
#4 Lee 12-8 (22-10)
#5 Auburn-Montgomery 12-8 (19-10)
#6 Reinhardt 11-9 (21-10)
#7 Shorter 8-12 (14-15)
#8 Emmanuel 7-13 (15-19)
This marks the first year that all teams were not allowed to participate in the conference tournament. Part of the reasoning behind this move was to cut down on travel for teams. This allows three teams to remain at home and other teams one less playing day.
This year's tournament will be hosted by Berry College in Rome, GA. For more information about the tournament at Berry please see Berry's tournament web site - http://www.berry.edu/athletics/2005SSACWomensBasketballTournament.asp .
An awards banquet will be held on Wednesday night to honor players from around the league. The award winners will be posted on the SSAC web site later that night.
By winning the regular season North Georgia will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA National tournament. The winner of the SSAC conference tournament will receive the SSAC's second automatic bid. If North Georgia was to win the tournament the team playing them in the championship game will receive the second automatic bid.
