Eight squads will be selected from a list of “declared” teams, which stood at just 9 colleges late last week.

Now a half dozen more teams have declared their interest. The NEW colleges seeking selection are: ■ Geneva College ■ Muhlenberg College ■ Bethany College ■ Grove City College ■ Penn State Behrend ■ Cabrini College.

That raises the total to 15 teams – again, only 8 will make the cut – including the earlier schools to declare: ■ Wesley College, ■ Penn State Harrisburg, ■ Geneva College, ■ McDaniel College, ■ Albright College, ■ Arcadia University, ■ Stevenson University, ■ Neumann University, and ■ Wilson College.

More colleges may join the list. The final date to seek consideration for selection to the tournament is this Friday, April 24.

Criteria used to pick the eight chosen teams will be based on a 6-point analysis of the declared team's record and strength of schedule. Click here to read the blog entry about the selection process.

Tournament participants and schedule will be announced the week after next, Monday, May 4.
