The Gryphons who will be the # two seed from the Big East starts the playoffs next week meeting the #two seed from the Eastern Carolina Conference. If I understand the seedings in this the first year of realignment Rocky Mount will get the home game.

Yes, the Lady Gryphons did whitewash C B Aycock yesterday 9-0 and have moved on the the second round where they will host Union Pines.

Is the Big East good in Tennis? Fike the #2 seed beat South Brunswick the # one from the Waccamaw Conference 9-0 at SB. SB was 15-0 heading into that match.
