KINGSPORT, Tenn. (SESN) — Schray Media is proud to announce that live coverage will be available of the live coverage of the 2025 WinWon Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Women’s Basketball Tournament through both the Southeast Sports Network (SESN), and National Sports Network (NSBN). The tournament is set to tip off at the MeadowView Marriott Convention Center & Conference Resort in Kingsport, Tennessee, on Wednesday, February 26, and concluding with the championship game on Saturday, March 1. Carrying on its tradition of showcasing premier collegiate events, SESN will bring fans every three-pointer, defensive stand, and thrilling finish from some of the NAIA’s top women’s basketball programs.
After finishing the regular season with matching 19-3 AAC records, Milligan and Johnson claimed co-champion honors. However, Milligan’s head-to-head win over Johnson during the regular season secured the No. 1 seed and an automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship Tournament. The AAC Tournament champion will receive the conference’s second automatic berth, but if Milligan also wins the tournament, Johnson will claim that second spot.
