Hamilton (11-5 overall) went 6-4 in the New England Small College Athletic Conference and was ranked in the top 10 of the Penn Monto/National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll for most of the season. The Continentals, who received one of the 10 at-large bids, are in the NCAA championship for the third time in program history and for the second straight year. Hamilton advanced to the second round under Head Coach Missy Mariano in 2025.
