SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University field hockey team earned the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Region and the No. 3 overall seed in the 2025 NCAA Division II Field Hockey Championships as the tournament field was announced Sunday night via an online selection show.
 
By virtue of being a Top 4 seed, Shippensburg (17-3) will host a national quarterfinal on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Robb Sports Complex. The start time will be confirmed soon by the NCAA.
 
Saturday's quarterfinal will be a matchup of 2025 conference champions, as the Raiders of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) will take on No. 6 seed Saint Anselm (16-5) from the Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10).
 
Both teams were the No. 3 seeds in their respective conference tournaments and won three straight games en route to league titles.
 
It will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams. SU won 4-0 back on Sept. 14 in a neutral-site game that was played at Widener University.
 
The Hawks are the reigning national champions after their 1-0 defeat of Kutztown last season.
 
Shippensburg advances to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive season and for the 19th time in school history. SU is 18-13 all-time in the NCAA Tournament, including five national championships (2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021).
 
All four quarterfinal matches will be played Saturday at various campus sites.
 
Bloomsburg is the host of the 2025 NCAA Division II National Semifinals (11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21) and the 2025 NCAA Division II National Championship Game (12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 23).
