Virginia, NC State, Tennessee Reach CSL Final; Wild Cards Confirmed<\/strong><\/p>\n

A win by Tennessee in the sixth and final CSL regular-season match earned the Volunteers a place in the final match alongside Virginia and NC State.<\/p>\n

The final match on Friday confirmed the four Wild Card contestants for next week, with Stanford and Louisville joining Indiana and California.<\/p>\n

Virginia is the top seed with two match wins. On total points, Tennessee jumped NC State into the second seed thanks to its 668 points in CSL Match 6 on Friday over SEC foes Auburn, Georgia and Alabama. That score is the second-highest, trailing only what Virginia posted in its first match.<\/p>\n
