Blue Hens To Face Hofstra Wednesday in First Game of CAA Tournament
5/10/2021 10:36:00 AM | Softball
RICHMOND, Va. – The Delaware softball team has earned the fourth seed in the Colonial Athletic Association Championship and will face fifth-seeded Hofstra in the tournament's first game on Wednesday at 11 a.m.
The five-team, double-elimination tournament will take place Wednesday through Friday at JMU's Veterans Memorial Park, with the championship game scheduled for 12 noon on Friday. If necessary, a second game will be played immediately following the first game.
The winner of the Delaware-Hofstra game will advance to play top-seeded James Madison at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, while the loser will face the loser of the Drexel-Elon game at 8 p.m. that night.
The CAA adopted a divisional format during the 2021 softball season to ensure the health and safety of all our student-athletes, coaches and institutional staff members during an unprecedented year. The eight teams were split into two divisions based on geographical location to create the North Division: Delaware, Drexel, Hofstra and Towson as well as the South Division: Charleston, Elon, James Madison and UNCW.
The championship field was comprised of the top two teams from each division earning a berth in the CAA tournament along with an at-large team chosen by a seeding and selection committee. The top team from the North and South were awarded the first and second seed in the bracket while the remaining three teams were seeding third through fifth as determined by the seeding and selection committee.
There will be no public sale of tickets for the CAA Softball Championship. Attendance will be limited to families and guests of student-athletes and coaches. However, full coverage of the CAA Softball Championship will be streamed on FloSports (FloSports.tv/CAA). To stay up to date with what is happening be sure to follow the CAA on Twitter (@CAASports), Instagram (@caasports) and join the conversation using the hashtag #CAAChamps.
