DIVISION I TEAM PREVIEWS  |  DAY 7 OF 8

MID ATLANTIC REGION!

Virginia Tech looks to re-load with their 16 returners and win the 2025 Mid-Atlantic regional after falling to East Carolina  in the 2024 championship game. Setting the tone for the Hokies will be a crucial conference series versus 2024 regional qualifier James Madison.  JMU made the 2024 regional but came up short after losing their 1st two games. These two look to be the teams to beat in the Mid-Atlantic North.

In the South, the Pirates of East Carolina  will have the targets on their back and rightfully so. ECU has been a blue-blood of the NCBA since 2014 compiling a 121-12 conference record, 8 conference titles, 7 regional titles, a  World Series championship, and three World Series championship game appearances in that span.  However, the Purple and Gold will have their hands full in this loaded conference with Elon and NC State coming for them. Those two had a winner-take-all game 3 of their conference series in 2024 to decide who comes to the regional, where Elon prevailed 8-2. Elon returns 16 from last year’s squad while the Pack return 20 and want revenge.  And what about the new guy? High Point University joins the Mid-Atlantic South after auto-qualifying to come up from Division II. The Panthers were a DII powerhouse where they won 3 straight conference titles with a combined 36-1 record, 3 regional appearances, and 1 World Series appearance. The Panthers return 21 from the 2024 squad and will be no slouch.

Will the Pirates make it back to back regional titles or will someone new prevail in this loaded region?
