That includes Castleton, which swept Husson on Saturday to win the NAC. NCAA Tournament selections will come out late Sunday night/early Monday morning.

Illinois Wesleyan defeated Carthage 17-7 in the CCIW championship game this afternoon to claim the conference's automatic bid. Wartburg lost the first championship game to Loras 4-2 but came back to win 10-2 to win the IIAC tournament and advance to the regional playoff round. Rockford won the Northern AC 8-3 over Concordia (Ill.) and although no automatic bid comes with the win, both teams are in the running for a Pool B or C bid.

Transylvania captured the HCAC championship with a 16-10 win over Rose-Hulman. The Marietta Pioneers were swept by Heidelberg and Heidelberg claims the OAC championship ending Marietta's playoff bid. Also in the Mideast, Cinderella made her appearance as Grove City won the PrAC championship with a 11-10 win over Thiel.

St. Olaf advanced to the MIAC championship game against St. Thomas, but will need a break in the weather to win the title. The Oles beat Gustavus Adolphus 15-6 (photo gallery) in Saturday afternoon's eliminating game, but rains forced the championship to be pushed back until Sunday at noon. St. Olaf must win twice. If the game or games don't get played tomorrow, St. Thomas gets the automatic bid.

UW-Stevens Point won the WIAC championship game 3-0 over UW-Whitewater.
