The NorPac tournament opens with three first-round games tomorrow and concludes with the Championship game at 5:30 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 3. Following the Davidson and Longwood match, No.3 Pacific will battle No. 6 Radford at 3:30 p.m. No. 2 Stanford and No. 7 Appalachian State close out the first day at 6 p.m. No. 1 Cal, who earned a first-round bye, will play its first game on Fri., Nov. 2 at 3:30 p.m. The winner of the championship game will host the winner of the Northeast Conference Tournament in a NCAA play-in game on Tues., Nov. 7.
