Division II
Following the institution of a tournament format for Division I in 1971, the NCAA added a 'small college' tournament for all non-Division I schools for the 1972 and 1973 seasons. In 1974, a combined Division II and III tournament was played through the 1979 seasons. Division II Championship tournaments were played continually through 1981. Following a twelve year interruption, the tournament format was resumed in 1993. Lacking a tournament from 1982 to 1992, several Division II teams received invitations to the Division I tournament, including Adelphi in 1982, C.W. Post in 1986, Adelphi again in 1987 where they upset Army, and Adelphi once more in 1989 where they received a number five seeding.

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“That crazed girl improvising her music,
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling she knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship
Her knee-cap broken.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
