It marks the third-straight year that this event will be held at Centre Court and the first time since 2009 that Wheaton College will serve as the host institution. Competition begins at 10 a.m. with warmups at 9 a.m.
 
Beginning this season, the CCIW champion will be determined using a combination of the regular-season dual meet standings and the CCIW championship results.

Augustana has the second-most CCIW titles with six including two under current head coach Jon Miedema. The Jane Nelson-led Wheaton Thunder has the most titles in conference history with 20, the last coming in 2014.
