2007 Best Western Catamount Classic Softball Tournament Information

March 8, 2007

Cullowhee, N.C. - On Friday, March 16 through Sunday, March 19, Western Carolina and Catamount Softball will host the 2007 Best Western Catamount Classic in Cullowhee. All 10 games of the three-day event will be played at WCU's on-campus Catamount Softball Complex.

Inaugural tournament champion, UNC Wilmington, returns to defend their 2006 crown and will be joined by a repeat visit from the Detroit Titans. The Radford Highlanders from the Big South will join the host Catamounts, who were the tourney runners-up to the Seahawks in '06, to round out the four-team field.

After playing each other through Friday and Saturday's round-robin format, the teams will be seeded for Saturday night's contests with the top seed facing the fourth, and two versus three. A true one-through-four finishing order will be determined with consoliation and championship games to be played on Sunday.
