NYU (0-9) is seeded #8 in the eight-team tournament, while Emory (13-4) is the #1 seed. Last season, the two teams also met in the opening round, with the Eagles claiming a 9-0 victory.
At the UAA Championship, Carnegie Mellon is seeded #2, Chicago #3, and Washington #4. The remaining teams are #5-seeded Brandeis University, #6 University of Rochester and #7 Case Western Reserve University.
"It is going to be a tough task," said NYU head coach
