The Dutchwomen, who finished the regular season at 18-12, are seeded 11th in the 12-team event. This is Union's first appearance in postseason play since 1996.
The Dutchwomen opened the season by winning their first-ever Vassar Tournament and posting eight wins in their first 10 matches. They closed the year by three of their final four.
Sophomore Corrin Jordan (New Hyde Park, NY/Herricks) finished the regular season as the team leader in Kills (352) and finished second in Digs (288).
