West Chester (10-1) was ranked fourth in Super Region 1 last week. The top six teams in the region qualify for the NCAA Tournament with three of those spots "earned access" and the other three at-large bid. The Golden Rams are looking to be one of the three at-large recipients.
The top two ranked schools will receive a bye in the first round and will host a second-round contest on Nov. 30. The third- and fourth-seeded teams will host the fifth- and sixth-seeded schools, respectively, on Saturday, Nov. 23. The two advancing schools on Nov. 30 will meet for the Super Region 1 championship on Dec. 7 at the site of the higher-seeded participant. That winner advances to the national semifinals, which will be held on Dec. 14 at a site to be determined.
