Winners of the last two United East Championships, the Bison collected 13 first place votes while sitting atop the preseason standings. A healthy roster returns for Gallaudet including the last two Conference Players of the Year in Brielle Worley (‘24) and Ella Gamble (‘25).

Lancaster Bible scooped up the other two first place votes and will look to build on their success from the 2024 season. The 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, Leah Helman, has graduated but Madison Reap returns to the squad after collecting Rookie of the Year honors a season ago.

St. Mary’s College has been steadily improving every year since fourth-year coach Alexis Calloway took over, dropping just one conference contest a year ago. Harrisburg rounds out the top four in the rankings and will see new leadership as Amanda Walker steps into her first year as head coach of the Lions.

The United East Championship will see 10 teams earn a spot in the postseason with the First Round commencing on November 5. The Quarterfinal round will follow on November 8 and the semifinal will take place on November 11. The final two teams left will then square off on Saturday November 15 to determine the United East Champion. All games will take place at the higher seed's facility.
