2022 AAC Women's Volleyball Tournament

The 10-team, single-elimination tournament gets underway on Thursday, Nov. 10, and runs through Saturday, Nov. 12, at the MeadowView Marriott Convention Center & Conference Resort in Kingsport, Tenn.

Columbia International is the regular-season champion as it finished with 13.5 points in the standings. The Rams earned the No. 1 seed and receive an automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship Tournament.

The AAC has one other automatic berth to award, which will go to the tournament champion.

Since teams play an unbalanced schedule with eight teams playing 21 conference games while seven teams play 20, a point system is used to determine the seeding for the tournament. A team receives a half-point for winning a match within its division and one point for a win over a team from the other division. In all, the maximum number of points a team can earn is 14.

Here are the tournament seeds:

  1. Columbia International (32-7, 19-1 AAC) - 13.5 points
  2. Bryan (25-4, 19-2 AAC) - 12.5 points
  3. Bluefield (21-9, 17-4 AAC) - 11.5 points
  4. Reinhardt (18-12, 16-4 AAC) - 11 points
  5. Milligan (18-12, 14-7 AAC) - 9 points
  6. Brenau (14-15, 11-9 AAC) - 8 points
  7. Truett McConnell (19-17, 11-9 AAC) - 7.5 points
  8. Point (13-15, 9-11 AAC) - 6.5 points
  9. Union (14-17, 9-12 AAC) - 6 points
  10. Johnson (14-15, 8-13 AAC) - 5 points*

*-Johnson tied with Montreat for the No. 10 seed. The teams split the season series, but Johnson won 4 total sets to Montreat's 3 set victories to earn the No. 10 seed.
