The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has officially announced the 32 qualifiers and bracket for the 26th annual NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship.

It will be held in Sioux City, Iowa, for the 20th-straight season – the longest streak of any current championship host – at the Tyson Events Center from March 8 – 14.

Five teams from the GPAC will be part of the field. Regular season and tourney champ Concordia heads the list along with Dakota Wesleyan, Morningside, Northwestern and Hastings.

The field is made up of 22 automatic berths and 10 at-large selections. Automatic qualification is given to conference regular-season champions, tournament champions or tournament runners-up depending on the conference. At-large teams were determined using the final regular-season Coaches’ Top 25 Poll released today.
