A10 Tournament News Coverage

Graham Hays shared his thoughts on the tournament:



Atlantic 10 (Charlotte, N.C., double elimination)
It hasn't been the smoothest of seasons for Fordham and Massachusetts, but the two preseason conference favorites managed to pull well clear of the competition by the end of the regular season and earn the first-round byes that go to the top two seeds. With their hopes riding on the arms of Jen Mineau and Sara Plourde, respectively, that extra rest is useful. Plourde twice worked extra innings over the final weekend of the regular season, striking out 42 batters in 22 innings against Rhode Island and Quinnipiac. Fordham is in better shape in terms of at-large consideration, but neither team would feel good waiting out the selection show on Sunday (ESPNU, 10 p.m. ET).
