Women's Basketball Repeats as SoCon Champions

For the second straight year, the Samford Bulldogs women's basketball team is the Southern Conference champion and will represent the conference in the NCAA Division I tournament. Samford's NCAA tournament seeding and playing site will be announced Monday (March 12) in a live telecast on ESPN at 6 p.m. CT.

The university is hosting a pairings show watch party at 5:30 p.m. CT Monday in the main dining room of Samford's Beeson University Center. Watch party details will be announced at www.samfordsports.com.

Samford, the number four seed, won the SoCon championship March 5, defeating second-seeded Appalachian State University 53-41.  As in 2011, ASU had swept both regular season games from the Bulldogs before Samford prevailed in the tournament championship game.

Samford defeated top seed Davidson College in the tournament semifinals. Ironically, Samford had dropped its last two regular season games to Davidson and Appalachian State before defeating both in fairly dominating fashion in the tournament.
