Just one win away from the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. That's the position seven teams from D-II South Nation find themselves in, as the finals in both the Southeast and South Regions, respectively, get underway tonight (Monday) and Tuesday.
In the Southeast Region, it's an all-Peach Belt Conference final for the women, as No. 1 seed Clayton State (31-1) does battle with No. 2 seed Lander (29-3), while Arkansas Tech (29-2) takes on Delta State (28-3) in another 1 vs. 2 match-up for the right to represent the South Region in the national quarterfinals.
On the men's side, Southeast No. 1 seed Augusta State (30-3) hopes to advance to the Elite Eight for the fourth straight season. But the Jaguars must outlast the No. 7 seeded Trojans from Anderson (S.C.)--(20-11) in Tuesday night's regional final contest. The Trojans upset No. 2 seed Lincoln Memorial (27-3), then knocked off No. 6 seed Montevallo (19-11), to advance to the Sweet 16.
In the South Region, it's the Gulf South Conference vs. the SIAC, as No. 1 seed Alabama-Huntsville (28-4) takes on another No. 7 seed in Stillman (25-7), also on Tuesday night. The Tigers from Tuscaloosa, Ala. advanced to the regional finals by stunning No. 2 seed Harding (25-5), followed by a win over No. 6 seed Florida Southern (23-9).
