The Spartans went 5-2 in the conference during the regular season to tie with Husson (5-2) for the second seed, however, they earned a 7-2 victory over the Eagles to own a tiebreaker and bump the Eagles to the No. 3 seed. Johnson St. went 4-3 to take the fourth spot.

Three-time defending champion Colby-Sawyer went 7-0 in the NEAC East to secure the top seed in
the tournament once again. The Chargers will host the tournament this Saturday beginning at 10 am.

The semifinal round will begin at 10:00 am, with the winners meeting in the final round an hour after the opening matches are complete. Please note, all dates and times are tentative and subject to change due to inclement weather.

The date of the crossover championship is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 7, in the Albany, N.Y. area to determine the conference champion. The overall champion will then receive an automatic berth to the NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship.
