The Generals (8-2), champions of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, will take on undefeated Hobart (10-0) in a first round contest on Saturday, November 17 at 12:00 pm. The Statesman won the Liberty League title after completing their first unbeaten season in 55 years.

The winner of the first round contest will take on the winner of a first round game between Heidelberg (9-1) and Wittenberg (9-1) on Saturday, November 24.

Washington and Lee completed the ODAC slate with a 6-1 overall record, claiming the league’s automatic bid to the tournament for the second time in the last three seasons. The Generals lead Division III with an average of 381.3 rushing yards per game and they average 36.8 points per contest.
