NCAA Bracket

Johns Hopkins and Dickinson have qualified for the NCAA Division III Field Hockey Championship, marking the 13th time in conference history that multiple CC teams will compete in the national tournament. The Blue Jays will host the second and third rounds next weekend, while the Red Devils will host a first-round matchup on Wednesday. 

Twenty-four teams will compete in twelve first-round games on campus sites this Wednesday. The twelve first-round winners, along with the four teams that received a first-round bye, will compete at four campus sites during second/third-round play, Saturday and Sunday, November 15 and 16. The winners of the four sites will advance to the semifinals and final, Friday and Sunday, November 21 and 23, at Robin Sheppard Field in Hartford, Conn. 

Hopkins (19-1), which earned the CC's automatic bid with a 4-1 win over Dickinson in Saturday's championship, is making its seventh straight postseason appearance and 13th overall. The Blue Jays are one of four teams that earned a bye in the tournament.
 
The Blue Jays have advanced to championship weekend five times with three national championship game appearances. Hopkins is 17-14 all-time in the tournament, including 15-6 under head coach Jane Wells. This is the fourth time since 2019 that JHU is hosting the second and third rounds.
 
Hopkins will take on the winner of Wednesday's first round game between 16^th-ranked Stevenson (19-2) and 24^th-ranked WPI (14-5). On the other side of the Baltimore Bracket, ninth-ranked Middlebury (12-5) will host Westfield State (18-3) and eighth-ranked Endicott (20-1) will host Keene State (15-6) on Wednesday. The winners will face each on Saturday in Baltimore. Saturday's winners will meet on Sunday for the right to go to the Final Four.

Dickinson (18-3) will continue its postseason run on Wednesday, Nov. 12 by hosting the St. Mary's (Md.) (13-5) at the Biddle Field Complex. The Dickinson/St. Mary's winner will take on either Salisbury (17-2) or Denison (12-6) in Saturday's second round at Christopher Newport in Newport News, Va. The top-ranked Captains await either Rowan (16-5) or Lynchburg (16-4) in Saturday's other second round matchup. 

This will mark Dickinson's first-ever appearance in the NCAA Field Hockey Tournament.
