CMS enters the NCAA Tournament with a 12-5 record, with all three losses coming to nationally ranked team, including three to Pomona-Pitzer. The other two came to Amherst and the University of Chicago, which both host opening rounds as well.
The Athenas will be making their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2022, when it opened with a win over George Fox, before falling to Pomona-Pitzer in the second round. This year's bid marks the first NCAA appearance for everyone on the current roster, which has just missed the cutoff for an at-large selection in each of the last three years.
