INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) has announced the bracket for its 2026 STUNT Tournament, marking the league's inaugural season of the sport. The tournament will take place April 3-4 at the O'Reilly Family Event Center in Springfield on the campus of Drury.
 
The championship will feature a double-elimination format divided into two pods of four teams. The winners of each pod will advance to a winner-take-all championship match scheduled for April 4 at 3 p.m.
 
Drury earned the fourth seed in the tournament after posting a 10-7 overall record and a 4-3 mark in GLVC play during the regular season. The Panthers were also ranked No. 15 in the most recent College STUNT Coaches Association (CSCA) NCAA Division II poll.
 
The first pod includes top-seeded Maryville, (4) Drury, (5) Ferris State, and (8) Southwest Baptist. The second pod features (2) Trevecca Nazarene, (3) Purdue Northwest, (6) Lewis, and (7) Quincy.
 
In the opening round, Drury will face No. 16 Ferris State at 12:45 p.m. on April 3. The Panthers defeated Ferris State earlier this season, earning a 27-16 win on Feb. 28 in St. Louis for their first GLVC victory. The winner of that matchup will face the winner of Maryville and Southwest Baptist, while the losing teams will meet in the elimination round.
 
The tournament champion will be crowned the inaugural STUNT champion of the GLVC.
