The NCAA News

Field: The team championship is composed of 64 teams. Single-elimination tournaments will be played at 16 regional sites (three or four teams at each site) and the finals site (16-team bracket) to determine the national champion.

Dates and sites: Regionals will be held at campus sites May 5-7. Quarterfinals, semifinals and finals will be at West Florida May 11-14.

Information/results: The fax-on-demand telephone number is 770/563-1133 (pin code 1915); request numbers are 1536 for bracket/schedule and 1537 for ticket information. Championships results will appear in the May 22 issue of The NCAA News.

Championships notes: Perennial powerhouse Lander has had a few surprises so far this season. The seven-time NCAA Division II champions defeated defending NCAA Division I champion Georgia, 4-3, in February. But the Senators took their first losses in three years to an NCAA Division II opponent in early March when they fell to No. 2 West Florida and No. 5 Valdosta State. They lost their No. 1 ranking and possibly their momentum. Meanwhile, West Florida suffered losses to Valdosta State and Ouachita Baptist. Valdosta State then lost to Ouachita Baptist. If any of these teams can take advantage of the mayhem, it could be the end of Lander's dominance come May.
