After heading to Niagara University, which went 19-28 last year, including 14-16 in the MAAC to claim the eighth seed, for a non-conference matchup on Tuesday the 5th, the Dolphins wrap up their home slate Friday the 8th through Sunday the 10th with an NEC series against the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, which went 7-41, including 6-24 in league action.

The four-team NEC Championship is slated for May 21-24 in Augusta, New Jersey at Skylands Stadium, the home of the Frontier League's Sussex County Miners. Should Le Moyne or Mercyhurst win the NEC Tournament championship, the tournament runner-up will advance to the NCAA Tournament as the NEC's automatic qualifier as per current policy, while if Le Moyne and Mercyhurst both reach the championship game, the NEC will stage an "AQ Qualifier" game between the two non-advancing semifinal teams. This will serve as a decisive game to determine the team that will secure the NEC's spot in the NCAA Tournament. During its NCAA reclassification, New Haven will become eligible to compete in the NEC postseason in 2026-27 or 2027-28.

The Dolphins return 25 letterwinners, including seven starting position players and one starting pitchers, from last year's 20-28 squad, which went 17-13 in NEC action and missed the NEC Championship by just one game, while adding seven freshmen and two transfers.
