Tusculum to visit Coker in SAC Tournament quarterfinals

Tusculum to visit Coker in SAC Tournament quarterfinals
ROCK HILL, S.C. ---

Tusculum College will travel to Coker College for a South Atlantic Conference Men's Lacrosse Tournament quarterfinal game, scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m.

The Pioneers qualified for the SAC Tournament for the first time in their three-year history after finishing in a three-way tie for fifth place in the league with Catawba and Mars Hill. Tusculum was awarded the fifth seed via the conference tiebreaker policy, and will face the fourth-seeded Cobras in their first postseason contest.

The teams have gone to overtime in their regular-season meetings the last two years, with Coker winning at home last season and at Pioneer Field on April 9 of this year, by identical 11-10 scores. Coker is the defending SAC co-champion, having shared the 2014 title with Queens.

The winner of Tuesday's game will advance to the semifinals against top-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne, which will be played Thursday at 4 p.m. at Queens University of Charlotte. The championship game will be played Saturday at 2 p.m. at Queens.

In the other quarterfinal contest, Queens is hosting Catawba on Tuesday at 4 p.m. The winner of that game will face second-seeded Wingate in the semifinals on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
