The Ladyjacks open tournament play Wednesday at Noon. All tournament games will be played at the Campbell Center in Houston, Texas.
The Ladyjacks earned the league's second seed after finishing the season with a 19-10 (.655) overall record and an 11-5 (.688) SLC mark. The Lady Cardinals come into their regular-season finale Sunday against Southeastern Louisiana with a 12-16 (.429) overall record and a 7-8 (.467) league mark.
