"This field features an interesting mix of teams from all over the country," head coach Jessica Steward said. "Boise State, Seton Hall, Lamar, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and Cincinnati are all traveling a long way to compete here. We'll get to see our conference rivals Georgia Southern and Troy again, in addition to playing alongside James Madison, whom we've been paired with for five out of our nine rounds so far this fall.

"It's a great opportunity for us to redeem ourselves against some familiar faces, while testing the team against some new ones." 

The line-up will have a familiar feel and include senior Harmanprit Kaur, junior Chloe Howard, sophomores Emma Berlin and Maria Blasco, along with freshman Jenny Marston. Junior Petra Duran and freshman Courtney Lewis will compete as individuals for the Panthers.

The 16-team field will include host Mercer, Boise State, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Daytona State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, James Madison, Lamar, Seton Hall, Southern Miss, Mercer, Radford, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Troy, UNC Greensboro, and Western Carolina.
