Lady Pirates Again Top Seed in MEAC Tournament

2014 MEAC Tournament Women's Bracket

HAMPTON, Virginia  -- The Hampton University women's basketball team will be the No. 1 seed for the 2014 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Tournament, which will be held Monday through Saturday at the Norfolk Scope.

It is the fourth straight top seed for the Lady Pirates (25-4, 16-0 MEAC), who have won 15 straight games and are looking for their fifth straight conference tournament crown – a feat never accomplished in the MEAC.

Hampton will play in Wednesday's quarterfinal round at 12 p.m., taking on either No. 8 Howard or No. 9 North Carolina Central. Those two teams will play a first-round match-up on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

Six teams have gone unbeaten in conference play in MEAC history, and the Lady Pirates have accomplished that feat in back-to-back years.

North Carolina A&T will be the No. 2 seed, with Coppin State claiming the No. 3 seed and the final first-round bye.

The semifinals will be held on Friday at 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., and the championship game will be held on Saturday at 3 p.m. That game will be televised on ESPNU via tape-delay, and the broadcast will air on Sunday, March 16, at 11 a.m.
