FARMVILLE, Va. – Teams and seeds are set for the Big South Conference Softball Tournament that will be hosted in Farmville. The Big South Conference released the official tournament bracket on Monday night, with Longwood seeded third after tiebreakers separated a three-way tie for first.
Longwood, USC Upstate and Campbell all were named regular season co-champions, as the three teams finished with identical 21-6 conference records. However, Upstate won the tiebreak to claim the first seed, while Campbell was second and Longwood third.
The regular-season title gives Longwood its fourth regular season-crown in seven seasons, and the Lancers have won the conference tournament five times since joining the league in 2013.
Now, Longwood gears up for the 2022 Big South Conference Tournament, which will be hosted in Farmville. The top six teams in the Big South qualified for the tournament, with Presbyterian (fourth seed), Charleston Southern (fifth seed) and Radford (sixth seed) rounding out the field.
