Defending champion Penn State Harrisburg enters the postseason as the top overall seed following a dominant conference campaign in which the Lions outscored their opponents 35-2. Abigail Mahaffey led Harrisburg's offensive attack with nine goals in conference play, while Ava Myers ranked second in the United East with six assists against conference opponents.

Penn College secured the No. 2 seed behind a strong showing on both sides of the ball, scoring 23 goals while allowing just five against conference opponents. Megan Kurian paced the Wildcats' offense, leading the United East with 10 goals in conference play.

Last season's championship runner-up, St. Mary's College of Maryland, earned the third seed behind a balanced offensive attack that featured five players scoring at least three goals in conference play. Oliviah Walton led the Seahawks with five goals against United East opponents.

Penn State Berks secured the fourth seed and the final quarterfinal hosting position behind the offensive contributions of Stephanie Morales, whose nine goals in conference play were tied for the second-most in the United East this fall.
