Is It Over Or Is It Just Beginning?
All the regular season matches are history. But that just means that it is tournament time! There will be fifteen alumnae playing in matches in the next few days. With so many former Front Range athletes playing, some of them were bound to end up together. Below is a run down of all the great match ups that will play out. (Click on the image above or here for an interactive bracket of the entire tournament.) We wish all of the teams the best of luck as they seek to rendezvous in Tampa!
All-SEC First Team selection Kristy Jaeckel will lead #14 Florida in action in Gainesville, Florida.
Georgia Tech and Jordan Kissman will travel to UCLA for a first round match against Baylor.
Senior Allie Suiter and New Mexico will also be in Los Angeles, but at USC to face Hawaii.
Senior Lauren Jaeckel and #21 St. Mary's will make the short drive to Stanford to play UC Santa Barbara.
Knoxville, Tennessee plays host to two alumnae, Ariana Filho (#11 Minnesota plays Louisville) and Becci Burling (Duke plays Tennessee).
Wichita State and Emily Adney travel across Iowa to face St. Louis.
