MADISON, Wis. – The women's 2017 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam will be hosted in two separate locations at George Washington University and Eastern Florida State College, tournament directors announced Tuesday, after the event was forced to relocate from the U.S. Virgin Islands due to damage from Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria. George Washington University in Washington, D.C. will host the four-team Reef Division with Syracuse, Vanderbilt, and Wisconsin. The women's Island Division tournament will be hosted at a neutral site at Eastern Florida State College in Melbourne, Florida, with Butler, Drexel, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia. Both tournaments will run simultaneously Thursday, Nov. 23 through Saturday, Nov. 25.
"We're thankful to the multiple universities that submitted proposals to host their respective division of the tournaments. Our decision was ultimately made based off of feasibility for traveling teams, hotel availability, flight availability, associated costs, and practice and competition venues," Jenn Ashby, the Paradise Jam tournament director, said. "We're incredibly thankful to all of the participating teams for their willingness to make adjustments during a difficult time. We're looking forward to hosting an event that matches the standard we have come to expect in the U.S. Virgin Islands and look forward to returning to the territory next year."
The women's 2017 U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam Reef Division will be played at Charles E. Smith Center on the George Washington campus. The division tip offs Thanksgiving Day at 10 a.m. between Vanderbilt and George Washington, followed by Syracuse and Wisconsin at 12:30 p.m. For a complete game schedule visit paradisejam.com.
Paradise Jam tournament directors have partnered with the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands to accept donations to aid in hurricane relief efforts in the U.S. Virgin Islands. To contribute to the relief fund, please visit paradisejam.com. All money donated will be used directly for hurricane relief efforts in the territory and donations are tax deductible. George Washington University is also coordinating on-site donation efforts with ticket revenue and apparel sales benefiting hurricane relief efforts in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
