Concordia (Mich.), Indiana Tech, and Madonna are seeded in order fifth through seventh out of the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC), while the lone Heart of America Athletic Conference team in William Penn, is seeded eighth.

Teams traveling to Savannah cover some miles ahead of stepping onto the field for their first games.
