Dominican, who was ranked seventh in the last regional rankings, had to await an at-large bid to the tournament after their quest for a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship fell short in the quarterfinals. Eight bids were awarded in the region with champions from the CACC (Caldwell), ECC (Daemen) and Northeast-10 (Bentley) capturing automatic selections and the others awarded on an at-large basis. The program will be making their sixth overall appearance (fifth consecutive) in the East Regional Tournament.
