Atlanta, Ga. – Berry won its sixth-straight and moved to 10-0 in the SAA with four matches left on its conference slate. The 13^th-ranked Vikings have a 2.5 game lead over second place Centre after completing a season-sweep of the Colonels over the weekend. Two more Berry wins clinch at least a share of the SAA regular season title and wrap up the top-seed and hosting duties for the SAA Tournament. Centre would need to win out and Berry to stumble twice for a share of the crown.
 
Sewanee is third in in the conference standings while Hendrix has put together a mid-season winning streak, with victories in each of its last three matches to sit fourth.
