"We are so excited to start beach season," said second-year Head Coach Dottie Hampton. "We have a group of talented young women who work hard and are getting better each day. Now that we are in the ASUN Conference, this will give us a chance to play top level competition and compete at a high level."

The Seahawks open their season hosting Catawba and Stevenson in a two-day double-round robin tournament on Feb. 26-27 at Capt'n Bill's Backyard Grill & Volleyball Facility in Wilmington.

"We're looking forward to visiting a blend of familiar foes and some places we've never been as we prepare for the ASUN Tournament.

"Being able to host three events at Capt'n Bills is exciting for the student-athletes and our local supporters. It's a great game that's continuing to grow in the community."
