The Salisbury men's and women's basketball teams are set to represent the CAC in the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament this weekend. 

The 11th-ranked Salisbury women (25-2) will host Bridgewater State in Friday's first round at 7 p.m. at Maggs Physical Activities Center. McDaniel (24-3) faces off against Stockton (21-6) in Friday's other first-round matchup. The two winners will meet on Saturday at 6 p.m. with a spot in the Sweet 16 at stake. 

The Sea Gulls and Bridgewater State will be meeting for the first time ever on Friday. Salisbury captured the CAC's automatic bid with a thrilling 74-68 double overtime triumph over Mary Washington in the championship game last Saturday. The win was the Sea Gulls fourth conference title in program history and first since 2002. Bridgewater State defeated Westfield State 60-57 in the MASCAC Championship game to earn an automatic bid.
