(VCSUVikings.com)- Valley City State University is hosting the North Star Athletic Association conference tournaments for both baseball and softball in early May this year.<\/p>\n
The events run from May 2-6 and will bring 14 teams and more than 350 players and coaches to the Valley City community, along with several hundred fans expected to attend the multi-day tournaments.<\/p>\n
VCSU athletic director Jill DeVries, says, \u201cWith hotel stays, meals and shopping, we estimate the economic impact on Valley City could be at least $100,000 for this week.\u00a0 We\u2019re excited to provide the student-athletes and fans with a championship atmosphere and introduce them to our great community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The NSAA Softball Championship starts May 2 and wraps up May 5. It is an eight-team, double-elimination tournament and will be played at the VCSU Softball Complex. Valley City State\u2019s softball team is currently ranked No. 8 in the country with a 34-3 overall record.<\/p>\n
The NSAA Baseball Championship runs from May 3-6 and is a six-team double elimination tournament. The baseball tournament will be played at Charlie Brown Memorial Baseball Field.<\/p>\n
The champion of each tournament earns the conference\u2019s automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship Opening Round.<\/p>\n
Valley City State has previously hosted the tournaments individually, but has never hosted both at the same time before.
