AUGUSTA, Ga. | The Peach Belt Conference has released the bracket for the 2025 women's basketball tournament championship, which begins with the quarterfinals Wednesday (March 5).

GCSU and Flagler split its head-to-head meetings during the regular season with each team defending its home court. The Bobcats won the tiebreaker and the No. 4 seed due to GCSU defeating top seed University of North Georgia last month in Dahlonega, Georgia.

The Bobcats last won the PBC Tournament in 2011. The Bobcats lead the all-time series with the Saints 22-12 with GCSU winning four of the past five meetings, including the last three in Milledgeville.

The other three quarterfinal games Wednesday (March 5) will have top seed North Georgia (15-0-1, 9-0-0) hosting No. 8 seed Clayton State University 5-4, 3-4-2) in Dahlonega, Georgia, while No. 3 seed Augusta University (7-2-5, 4-2-3) facing No. 6 Lander University (8-2-5, 3-2-4) in Augusta, Georgia, and No. 2 Columbus State University (10-3-2, 5-2-2) entertaining No. 7 Georgia Southwestern State University (7-7-1, 4-4-1) in Columbus, Georgia.

The four quarterfinal winners will advance to the semifinals Saturday (March 8) and the finals Sunday (March 9) that will be hosted by the highest-remaining seed.
