ASU to meet VSU in NCAA South Sub-Region 1 tourney

VALDOSTA, Georgia  --  The Blazers open the region tournament against Albany State tonight at 7 p.m., following the conclusion of the earlier game that pits St. Leo, the champion of the Sunshine State Conference, and Tampa, the No. 4 seed in the region.

VSU is a combined 4-0 against Albany State this season, outscoring the Golden Rams 45-3 in those games. Despite the dominance over the Golden Rams, the Blazers aren’t overlooking anyone, especially Albany State, which was to win the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament last weekend, securing the automatic bid.

“They hit a lot of home runs in the conference tournament; they hit a whole lot of home runs,” Valdosta State head coach Thomas Macera said. “If you leave it over the plate they can hit it and they hit a lot of them in the conference tournament. So you can’t look past them or you will be in the loser’s bracket Saturday. We have got to worry about Friday first.”
