The event begins Sunday, October 30 with first round matches played at the top four seeds in the event. The semifinals and championship will be played on November 4 and 6 at the UNCG Soccer Stadium in Greensboro, N.C.

The Bulldogs, which claimed their first SoCon regular season championship, entertain No. 8 seed Western Carolina Sunday at 5 p.m. ET in Birmingham, Ala.

UNCG, the 2010 tournament winner which saw its five-year streak of regular season titles snapped by Samford, is seeded second and will play host to Georgia Southern at 2 p.m. in Greensboro, N.C.

College of Charleston, which received the third seed by virtue of its loss to UNCG earlier this season, will host sixth-seeded Elon at 1 p.m.
