Hartford is making its sixth-straight NCAA Championship appearance and 12th overall. The Hawks advanced to the quarterfinal round in 1999 with wins at home over Princeton, at Florida and at Virginia before a loss at Penn State. Hartford needed just one win in 1992 (2-1, 2OT over Massachusetts) to reach the semifinals of the then 12-team tournament. The Hawks dropped a 1-0 decision to Duke in the semifinal game at Chapel Hill, N.C.
