Huntingdon had lost three of its final five games in the regular season, entering the conference tournament as the three seed. The Hawks had to beat the top two seeds on their way to earning their first ever conference title.

Now, they are one of 64 teams across the country preparing to battle for a national championship.

If Huntingdon can get past the home team Emory, the Hawks will then play against the winner of Guilford vs. Berry in the second round. That game is scheduled to be played at 5:50PM Saturday.

You can see the full D-III Bracket on the NCAA website with live updated results for each round.
