The Bears will play Southand Conference champion TAMU-CC (19-9) in the first round at 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 2, with UNC (24-6) facing Washington State at 4:30 p.m. earlier that day. The winner of both matches will play each other in a 7 p.m. matchup on Friday, Dec. 3, with a trip to the region semifinals on the line.
