The Blazers (8-2) were tabbed the No. 1 seed in Super Region 2 Sunday evening, securing the top-seed in the region along with a first round bye. Twenty-three days will pass between Valdosta State's regular season finale against Texas A&M-Kingsville and its playoff game, which will be against either West Alabama or Miles.
"It says a lot for these kids, being 2-2 and reeling off six in-a-row and getting the respect we got; To be the No. 1 team in the region, it says a lot about what they've done," Valdosta State head coach David Dean said.
UWA and Miles will meet Saturday (Nov. 17) in the No. 4 versus No. 5 matchup. Lenoir-Rhyne was tabbed the three-seed and will host the sixth-seed Fort Valley State. Carson-Newman, which beat Mars Hill Saturday, was tabbed the second seed in the region and will host the winner of the Lenoir-Rhyne-Fort Valley State game.
