UW-Stevens Point, making its thirteenth NCAA appearance, is the number one seed in the regional.  The Pointers won the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship and the WIAC postseason tournament.  UW-Whitewater, the WIAC runnerup and two seed in the regional, is making its fourteenth NCAA appearance.  The Warhawks have advanced to the Division III World Series four times, including the 2005 national championship.  Saint Scholastica, the third seed, won its fifteenth straight Upper Minnesota Athletic Conference title and will be in the NCAA tourney for the eighth time.  Hamline, the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament champion, is one of nine schools in the national field making its first trip to the NCAA tourney.  Saint Thomas shared the MIAC regular season title.  The Tommies earned a NCAA berth for the seventeenth time.  Aurora leads the teams in the Whitewater regional with nineteen NCAA III tournament visits.  The Spartans won the Northern Athletics Conference Tournament and finished second in the league's regular season.

The regional has a familiar look.  Five of the six teams were also in the Whitewater Regional in 2010, with Hamline the lone exception.

The national tournament field includes 55 teams divided into eight regionals.  The regional winners will advance to the Division III World Series at Timber Rattlers Stadium in Appleton (Grand Chute), Wisconsin May 27-31.
