The women will hit the road for regional action starting this Friday (May 8) in Findlay, Ohio, while the men will play host to one of two Midwest Regional Tournaments beginning on Monday (May 11). The men's regional will be played at Big Rapids High School unless weather forces the event inside at the FSU Racquet and Fitness Center.

The Bulldog women's team received its 24th all-time national tournament bid and its second in a row while the men's team earned its 11th consecutive berth and will make its 29th all-time NCAA Tourney appearance. Both teams are guided by head coach Mark Doren.

The University of Findlay was chosen to host one of the two Midwest Region brackets with the winner of the opening round matchup squaring off against the top-seeded host Oilers or seventh-seeded Indianapolis on Saturday (May 9) at 12 p.m. (ET) for the right to move on to the D2 Sweet Sixteen set for May 19-24 in Surprise, Ariz.

Meanwhile, the FSU men's squad drew the two seed and a host spot in the Midwest Region and will face seventh-seeded Drury (Mo.) in first-round action on Monday (May 11) at 9 a.m. (ET) at Big Rapids High School.
