The tournament also included teams from Division II between 1984 and 1991 due to a lack of programs in that division; the NCAA Division II Field Hockey Championship resumed in 1992.
The most successful team is The College of New Jersey, with 11 titles. Middlebury are the three-time defending champions, defeating Franklin & Marshall in the 2019 final, 1–0.[2]
Format
Currently, 24 teams compete in each national championship tournament. The first three rounds are played at campus sites on the fields of higher-seeded teams. The semifinal and championship rounds are held at a pre-determined site. The 2017 finals were hosted in Louisville, Kentucky by the University of Louisville.
