The 2025 Coastal Athletic Association baseball tournament was held at CofC Baseball Stadium at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC, from May 21 through 24.[2] The Northeastern Huskies won their second CAA tournament championship in school history, going undefeated in the tournament. With the win, they also earned the conference's automatic bid to the 2025 NCAA Division I baseball tournament. [3]
Seeding and format
Continuing the format adopted in 2012, the top six finishers from the regular season competed in the modified double-elimination tournament in which each round is reseeded so that the top remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed. Northeastern entered the tournament as the number one overall seed after setting a school record for wins in a season with 45. They also enter the conference tournament with a 24 game win streak.[4]
