Mary Washington And Salisbury Top St. Mary's This Weekend To Clinch Top Two Seeds In 2012 CAC Women's Tennis Tournament

Mary Washington and Salisbury posted shutout victories over St. Mary's this weekend to secure the top two seeds in the 2012 CAC Women's Tennis Championship Tournament.   SMC added a win Sunday against Stevenson to nail down the No. 3 seed in the tournament.

The defending champion Eagles (13-4, 7-0 CAC) will be the top seed in the CAC post-season tournament while Salisbury (9-9, 6-1 CAC) will be the No. 2 seed.  Both will gain first-round playoff byes, then host semifinal games on Monday, April 23.

St. Mary's (13-6, 5-2 CAC), which defeated Stevenson by an 8-1 margin, clinched the No. 3 seed in the tournament and will host a first-round match on Saturday (4/21).

York (6-10, 3-4 CAC) and Frostburg State (4-9, 2-4 CAC) have also clinched a playoff spot, but must await the outcome of Tuesday's FSU at Hood match to determine the final three playoff seeds. 

If FSU beats Hood, York will be the No. 4 seed and host the #5 Bobcats in the opening round of the playoffs.  That would also give Stevenson (5-7, 2-5 CAC) the No. 6 seed and a trip to SMC for a first-round playoff showdown.

If Hood (7-10, 2-4 CAC) tops the Bobcats, the Blazers will gain the No. 4 seed and host the Spartans in the first round.  FSU would then get the No. 6 seed and play at SMC in the opening round of the playoffs.
