The conference regular season ended in a three-way tie between Marywood, Gwynedd Mercy and Immaculata. After many other tiebreakers the teams still remained knotted, the decider was goals against for conference games with a maximum of three goals per game. This separated the field pushing Marywood to the top and earning themselves a hosting opportunity in the first round.

Cabrini will look to upset the field again and repeat as Atlantic East Champions. Since the conference inception in 2018, Cabrini, Wesley and Marywood have all won conference field hockey titles.
