The sites for the women’s DI and DII college fall playoff have been confirmed, and both fall championships will occur Dec. 3-4 at Furman University. The men’s DIAA fall championship and DII national final four will join the slate of events that weekend in Greenville, S.C.

On Nov. 19-20, eight women’s DI colleges will vie for the two spots to the fall final. The eastern pool will convene at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., while the western quartet will assemble at the Cincinnati Wolfhounds’ home pitch.

Vassar (Northeast) and Cincinnati (Midwest) also serve as DII sites, while Kutztown University (Pa.) hosts the Mid-Atlantic, and Nebraska’s Wayne State College the West.
