The No. 10-ranked Blue Raiders open pool play at 11amCT on Tuesday against No. 24 Reinhardt (GA).

Following the conclusion of all pool play matches, the top two teams from each of the eight pools advance to the 16-team, single-elimination bracket scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The first round and quarterfinal matches are played on Friday, while the semifinals and championship matches are scheduled for Saturday.
