Top-seeded Wayne State University will serve as the host for one of two NCAA D2 Midwest Regionals, which will take place on Monday and Tuesday, May 9-10. A total of eight teams were selected in the Midwest Region with four teams competing in each four-team preliminary regional event to be hosted by Wayne State and the University of Indianapolis.

Overall, a total of 48 teams were chosen from across the country as determined by the NCAA Division II National Committee.
