Every year since the NCAA started awarding automatic bids to conference winners, a team made their first appearance in the Championship round. This year at least two teams will be making their first trip. In the Terre Haute Regional, Heidelberg will need two wins against Adrian to advance and in the Rock Island Regional, Webster will play the Augustana/Linfield winner. Neither of these five teams have made the Championship round and a slot is open for just two. These are just two regionals slated to end on Saturday.

In the Danville Regional, Salisbury will play the winner of the Johns Hopkins/Lynchburg game. In the Abilene Regional Chapman will play Trinity (Texas) to see who will advance. Trinity (Texas) beat Cal State East Bay 9-6 in what might be Cal State East Bay's last D-III contest to advance. The Oshkosh Regional will feature UW-Whitewater against St. Scholastica. If both Lynchburg and St. Scholastica win it will be four rookies in the Championship round.

Cortland State can wrap up another appearance in the championship round if they win their game on Saturday. If they lose, they will play Sunday to finish off the Auburn Regional. The Harwich and Newark Regional have the Championship game scheduled on Sunday or Monday.
