CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL
ATLANTA, GA (November 10, 2026) - An unbeaten conference campaign has earned Covenant the top seed and hosting rights for the 2026 Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) Women's Volleyball Championship Tournament, as the league announced its official six team postseason field.
The fifth edition of the championship is scheduled for November 12–14, with all matches taking place at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Six teams will compete over three days for the conference crown and an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III Women's Volleyball Championship.
Quarterfinal rounds will begin four teams’ postseason journeys on Thursday, November 12, with two opening-round matches:
- No. 3 seed Asbury (16-10, 7-5 CCS) will face No. 6 seed Piedmont (16-14, 3-9 CCS) in the tournament’s opening contest.
- No. 4 seed Huntingdon (9-14, 6-6 CCS) will take on No. 5 seed Belhaven (11-15, 6-6 CCS) in the second match of the day.
- Both programs concluded CCS play with identical 6-6 records, but Huntingdon earned the higher seed after defeating the Blazers in their two regular season meetings.
The quarterfinal winners will advance to Friday's semifinal round, where Covenant and LaGrange await.
- No. 1 seed Covenant (26-3, 12-0 CCS) will face the winner of the Huntingdon-Belhaven matchup, while
