UMW finished 39th in the NCAA Power Index rankings after a strong regular season, one that included a win over then-No. 3 Christopher Newport and 14 shutouts -- the most in a single season since at least 2001. The program record of 15 was set in 1997.

The Eagles are advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 and for the 15th time in program history after mixture of experience and youth earned them a spot in the dance. They had a Coast-to-Coast Conference-best eight all-conference selections as senior Natalie Anderson led the way on the backline. She was joined on the first team by junior Maci Landel (conference-best nine goals), senior Ellen Shine, and junior Naomi Knight. On the second team it was junior Emily Box, sophomores Layla Royster, Katie Britton, and Emily Orn.
