Through tiebreak criteria, in order, those three teams earned seeding in the conference tournament bracket. WU, KWC and CU, are also quarterfinal first-round site hosts along with No. 4 seed Findlay.

A year ago, the championship run by Hillsdale featured stellar post play and the Yellow Jackets, particularly the emergence of Roh, gives Cedarville a candidate to do the same and complement their stellar guard play.
 
Cedarville celebrated status as back-to-back co-regular season champions on Saturday, finishing the regular season on a six-game win streak with a pair of road victories. 
 
The Yellow Jackets handled Davis & Elkins and Alderson Broaddus to set the stage for a first-round showdown against Malone on Tuesday.
 
Roh carved out a double-double against D&E with a career-high 20 points and 11 rebounds in just 20 minutes on the floor.
 
Roh was two rebounds shy of a double-double against ABU as she finished with weekly averages of 15.5 ppg and 9.5 rpg while shooting 60 percent form the field with 15-of-25 field goal attempts made.
 
Roh, who started the season earning minutes in a reserve role, has now been a fixture in the starting rotation in 13 of the team’s last 15 games.
