In Division II action at Hilliard Darby High School starting at 10 AM, Kirtland claimed the Northeast Regional championship and receives a first-round bye. The Hornets will play the winner of East versus Carlisle at 11:30 AM.

Maple Heights qualified as the Northeast Regional runner-up in Division I and will face Westerville Central at 6:30 PM in their opening match.

Cleveland Central Catholic also advanced as the Northeast Regional Division II runner-up but will not compete due to receiving a bye position in the bracket structure.
