Wittenberg draws Emory...on a neutral court at Guilford, who hosts Sewanee. I must say that's quite surprising. Perhaps the Tigers didn't file to host?
Wooster hosts a pod, facing Baruch, with Wheaton (Il) and Hanover in the other game. A surprise hosting assignment for Timken Gym, and the Scots first hosting duties since 2014 I believe.
Other hosts in Wooster's quadrant are Augustana, Oswego St, and Marietta. As fantastic50 pointed out on twitter, if hosts swept the first weekend, neither Marietta nor Oswego could make it to overall top-seed Augustana. In that case, Wooster or Marietta could serve as a second-weekend geographical host.
I have it on pretty solid authority that Wittenberg did not apply to host due to a gym conflict. Take that for what you will as there was no guarantee they would have hosted anyway. But that may have been costly scheduling conflict considering their draw.
