Fayetteville, N.C. – The USA South Athletic Conference has announced the tournament bracket for the 2014 Volleyball Championship Tournament with the Lady Lions earning the 3rd and final seed from the South Division. Piedmont will be making the trip to Martinsville, Virginia for quarterfinal action Friday, November 7 against 2nd seed Averett from the North Division.
In the only meeting between these two teams this season, Piedmont won a five set match on the road at Averett despite dropping the first two sets. In all five sets, the contests were decided by 4 or fewer points, including two sets heading to extra points. That win over the Cougars marked the first time the Lady Lions have defeated Averett since joining the USA South.
Since Piedmont joined the USA South in 2012, Averett has knocked the Lady Lions out of the conference tournament each year. In 2012, Averett defeated the Lady Lions in the quarterfinals while last year, the Cougars victory came in the semifinals.
The 2014 USA South volleyball championship features the top five teams from the North Division and top three teams from the South Division following the completion of the regular season. All matches will take place on the campus of Patrick Henry Community College in Martinsville inside Stone Hall. This marks the third year the USA South volleyball tournament has been in the city of Martinsville.
