Tournament Webpage
The field is set for the 2015 Empire 8 Women's Volleyball Championship Tournament. Stevens Institute of Technology earned the top seed with a perfect 8-0 league mark and will host the tournament which is set to take place on Nov. 7-8.
Ithaca College secured the No. 2 seed with a 7-1 record and there was a three-way tie for the third and fourt seed so it came down to a tiebreaker.
Elmira College, Houghton College and Nazareth College all had a 5-3 record. The first criteria is record amongst tied teams and they each finished a 1-1 record against each other. The next criteria is percentage of sets won versus sets played amongst the tied teams. Nazareth is 5-3(.625%) with a 3-0 win against Elmira and a 3-2 loss to Houghton. Houghton is 3-5(.375) with a 3-2 win against Nazareth and a 3-0 loss to Elmira. Elmira is 3-3(.500) after defeating Houghton 3-0 and losing to Nazareth 3-0. Since Nazareth has the best percentage of sets won they advance out of teh tiebreaker to the No. 3 seed, leaving Houghton and Elmira to be compared head to head in which case Elmira beat Houghton, giving Elmira the No. 4 seed.
