The top seed in the tournament will be the University of New England who went 13-5, (11-0 CCC) during the regular season. The Nor'easters will host Nichols (6-12, 6-6 CCC) in the Semifinal match on Wednesday as well. The winners of both contests will meet in the CCC Championship on Saturday, November 9th.
