First Round — Tuesday, February 24
Game No. 1 — #6 Drew University at #3 Elizabethtown College — 7:00 p.m. (Digital Tickets Only)
Elizabethtown has missed the Landmark Conference postseason just twice since joining the league in 2014-15 and will host a tournament game for the fifth straight year. The Blue Jays earned the No. 3 seed after finishing in a three-way tie for second place at 14-4 with Susquehanna and Catholic. With head-to-head and results against the rest of the standings unable to break the tie, the NPI rankings determined the final order. The Blue Jays closed the regular season strong, winning four of their last five contests, and swept the regular-season series against Drew with a 53-39 win on December 3 and a 60-59 overtime victory on February 4.
Player to Watch: Makenna Mummert leads the team with 427 points and averages 17.1 points per game.
Drew returns to the postseason for the third straight season and fourth time in the last five years. Tuesday's matchup marks the first postseason meeting between the Rangers and Elizabethtown.

Game No. 2 — #5 Moravian University at #4 Catholic University — 7:00 p.m. (Digital Tickets Only)
Catholic secured the No. 4 seed after finishing 14-4 in conference play as part of a three-way tie with Susquehanna and Elizabethtown. With the first two tiebreakers unable to separate the teams, final placement was determined by NPI. Catholic missed the first three postseasons in league history (2007-08, 2011-12, 2018-19), but has made the trip every year since, and will face Moravian in the postseason for the third time. The previous meetings came in 2013-14 (Moravian win) and 2015-16 (Catholic 84-77 OT victory).
Player to Watch: Anna Scoblick, the defending Defensive Player of the Year, leads Catholic with 251 points (12.0 ppg) and adds 1.9 steals per game.
Moravian returns to the tournament for the 16th time and first since 2023-24. The Greyhounds closed the regular season on a four-game winning streak, but dropped both regular-season matchups to Catholic, a close 64-62 loss on January 7 and an 84-54 defeat on February 7.
Player to Watch: Lizzie Lustig leads Moravian with 298 points (11.9 ppg).
