ACRHA Teams Skate to Regionals

Beginning Saturday, February 26th, members of ACRHA will compete in the regional tournament in Morrisville, North Carolina, for the right to advance to the national tournament in Fort Collins, Colorado.

The event features #6 ranked North Carolina State and #17 UNC-Charlotte, who will look to renew their rivalry in a battle for regional bragging rights.  In Division II, Elon, undefeated in divisional play at 10-0-0, highlights the competition.

Having finished first and second in ACRHA Divison I, respectively, NC State and Charlotte each earned first round byes in the tournament.  The two teams have endured a grueling regular season rivalry in which NC State took the first two games.  However, the momentum has shifted in Charlotte?s favor after a highly physical contest at the last league event in which they prevailed 5-3.  Both teams will be raring to go with the stakes and intensity higher than ever.

The tournament will be conducted in a double elimination format.  Division I games start off with East Carolina vs. UNC-Chapel Hill and South Carolina vs. Middle Tennessee State.  In Division II, early games are Elon vs. Longwood and Clemson vs. Western Carolina.  Real-time stats and results will be posted at ACRHA.com as they happen.
