USC Lancaster wins coin toss to be No. 4 Region 10 seed
Final NJCAA Region 10 Standings
(some teams have additional non region games remaining)
There was only one tie in the NJCAA Region 10 standings at the end of region play: USC Lancaster and USC Sumter tied for fourth (and fifth) place with 9-15 region records
The schools went 2-2 in their head-to-head series. They also had identical records against the other five region teams, so a coin toss was held Tuesday to break the tie.
USC Lancaster won the toss and will be the fourth seed for tournament purposes. That means the Lancers will be home team for their first-round region tournament game May 3 at Lexington. USC Sumter will be the visiting team. Had the Fire Ants won the toss, the home-visitor slots would have been reversed.
