Your Bulls have clinched the #1 Seed in the South and will be heading directly to Nationals! This year's Nationals returns to Frisco, Texas (just outside of Dallas, Texas) and is being hosted by the NHL's Dallas Stars, Nationals will start on March 24th and run through March 28th.

This will be the Bulls' third trip in the last four years to Nationals and back-to-back years receiving an Autobid to Nationals and bypassing Regionals. Last year the Bulls finished #2 in the South and four years ago the Bulls won both games at Regionals to advance to Nationals.

During last year's trip to Nationals the Bulls won their first two games in Pool play before going against to #1 overall team Sault College from Ontario, Canada. The Bulls couldn't take down the Cougars which brought the Bulls' season to an end while Sault went on to win Nationals. The Bulls finished in the Top 6 for the year and played the eventual National Champions closer than any other team at Nationals.

The Bulls look to improve on their performance this season by advancing out of Pool Play. The Bulls will be playing in Pool A which consists:

  • #1 South - University of South Florida
  • #2 Atlantic - George Mason University
  • #3 Pacific - To Be Determined, Highest Seed Winner from Pacific Regionals
  • #4 North - To Be Determined, Lowest Seed Winner from North Regionals
