TOURNAMENT CENTRAL

UC Santa Cruz learned their path to an NCAA Tournament berth when the Coast-To-Coast Conference released their pairings for the 2023 Women's Volleyball Conference Tournament earlier Monday.
The Banana Slugs (12-16) were seeded fourth and will face fifth-seed Pratt Institute (N.Y.) in Friday's first round at 8:00 am Pacific time. It will be just the second meeting alltime between the two schools. UC Santa Cruz swept the Cannoneers in 2019 when the teams met at the ACAA Conference Tournament.

The winner of that early match will face top seed and 22nd-ranked Mary Washington later on Friday in the semifinal. The tournament is hosted at the Maggs Center at Salisbury University, with the final scheduled for Saturday November 11th.
