This is SUU's first appearance in the tournament.

"We were a little disappointed with our finish last week at (the Pat Hicks Invitational), so we're looking to bounce back this week," SUU Coach Richard Church said of his team's 10th-place finish at its own tourney. "We've had some injury issues but we need to play through them and look for our healthy players to step up and play well."
