Current ranking in ( )
Unlike Div.I and Div.III, there are no traditional at-large selections for Div.II. The top two teams in each Region automatically advance to the Div.II Championships. Extra ream berhs are pre-determined based on a Regionâ€™s performance ar last yearâ€™s Nationals.
This lmeans thar some nationally-ranked teams, such as #12-Lock Haven(M) and #14-Truman State(W), both of which finished 3rd in their respective Region, will not be going to the Nationals.
A revised advancement procedure is under consideration for the future.
