INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Ursinus Field Hockey team learned Sunday night that they have received an at-large bid to the 2026 NCAA Division III Field Hockey Tournament. The Bears will host Stevens on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. from the Snell Alumnae Field.
 
 
 
The winner of Ursinus/Stevens will take on Christopher Newport in the second round of the tournament on Saturday. The second-round game will be played at Christopher Newport University.
 
 
 
Ursinus will face the now four-time defending Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom Champion Stevens in the first round. Stevens rolled past DeSales 4-0 in the championship game on Saturday afternoon. The Ducks have been in the NCAA Tournament in each of the last four seasons as the MAC Freedom champion.
 
 
 
Stevens currently holds a 16-4 overall record and went a perfect 8-0 in conference play. This will be the second all-time NCAA Tournament meeting between the two schools after the first was in the second round of the 2015 NCAA Tournament where the Bears defeated Stevens 10-0 in Collegeville.
 
 
 
The Bears will be making their 15th overall appearance in the Division III Tournament and second in the last three seasons Ursinus lost 2-1 in the first round to Rowan in 2024 at the Snell Alumnae Field which was the first home NCAA Tournament game for the Bears since the 2015 weekend that included Stevens in it.
 
 
 
A full preview of the Bears' NCAA Tournament game will be published on ursinusathletics.com later in the week.
