EWING, N.J. – The TCNJ baseball team is headed to Pennsylvania after receiving an at-large bid to the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The Lions will take on host and 19th-ranked Penn State Harrisburg in their first game of the regional in a pod that includes 10th-ranked Salve Regina and Keene State.
 
TCNJ (26-17-1) is making its 25th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and third since the new regional format began in 2019 after finishing as the runner-up in the NJAC Tournament. The Lions put together a strong case for their at-large bid, closing the year out with wins over Kean and Rowan – both of which were ranked in the top 10 in the NCAA Power Index (NPI) – in the conference tournament before falling to Rutgers-Camden.
 
Penn State Harrisburg is the two seed in the regional and is set to host due to a scheduling conflict at top-seeded Salve Regina. The Lions enter the NCAA Tournament with a record of 33-11-1, losing to Keystone in the United East Championship Game.
 
The Seahawks are the No. 1 seed in the regional after winning the NEWMAC Championship in walk-off fashion to earn the automatic bid. One season removed from a trip to the College World Series, Salve Regina will take a 32-7 record and program-best 17-game winning streak into the national tournament.
 
Keene State rounds out the regional pod after sweeping its way to a Little East Conference Championship. The Owls' conference title was their first in 17 years, with a 17-2 record in their final 19 games helping secure the program their automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
 
Salve Regina and Keene State will open the regional Friday, May 16 followed by TCNJ's matchup against Penn State Harrisburg. Game times are to be determined.
