A total of four HBCUs will be among the teams competing for the NCAA Division II women’s national title, led by Virginia Union and Benedict.
CIAA Champion Virginia Union (25-2) earned the top seed in the Atlantic Region and will host IUP. It is one of three CIAA teams, along with Chowan (20-8) and Shaw (24-7), who will participate in the tournament.

The CIAA and the SIAC are well represented. I hope all the teams win at least one game.
