Lee Coach Mark Brew’s comments
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for West Georgia," said head coach Mark Brew. "They have a quality team and have a dynamic offense, being one of the top homerun and stolen-base teams in the GSC. They have one of the top relievers in the GSC and some solid arms to throw at us. It will be a tough challenge. We have played well in conference in all three phases of the game, and we need to continue that in post season. Defense will be a premium for all teams as mistakes are magnified during tournaments. We are excited about the opportunity in front of us this week.”
Lee will be the No. 1-seed for just the second time in program-history after capturing its first GSC regular-season title since 2021. Second-seeded Auburn–Montgomery followed at 20-10 in GSC play and earned its highest placement ever while it makes its third conference tournament appearance.
Delta State (19-11) will be the three-seed, and Valdosta State (18-12) rounds out the top four.
Montevallo and West Florida tied at 17-13 in conference action, but UM will be the 5th seed and UWF will be the 6th, due to a head-to-head tiebreaker. Shorter will enter as the No. 7-seed after going 15-15.
