SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – No. 4 seed Endicott and No. 6 seed Gordon both won their elimination games on Sunday, May 6 to remain in the tournament and advance to the CCC Pod Finals, which will take place Monday, May 7.

The two pod winners will continue on to the best-of-three CCC Championship Series, which is scheduled to take place on Friday-Saturday, May 11-12 at the higher seed. One game will be played on Friday with the second game and "if necessary" game scheduled for Saturday.
