Afterwards the Flying Fleet will fly to Duluth, Minnesota to participate in the University of Minnesota-Duluth Classic on September 7^th and 8^th.  The Fleet will square off against two national powerhouses in the tournament: #6 University of Minnesota-Duluth and #12 Ferris State University.

In addition to Brevard College, Erskine will play three other members from the South Atlantic Conference: Carson-Newman College, Newberry College and archrival Anderson University.  Newberry concluded last season ranked #7 in the final NCAA Southeast Regional Poll.

The Fleet will also play in a three-team tournament at Augusta State University on Saturday, October 20^th before wrapping up the season with a five game home stand.
