With the 2006-07 Patriot League women's basketball season in the books, all eight seeds for the upcoming tournament are set. American, Army, Lehigh and Navy all earned wins on Saturday to close out the regular season.

Two ties occurred in the regular-season standings with both American and Navy at 6-8. American earned the No. 4 seed and Navy the No. 5 seed because of the Eagles' win over Holy Cross earlier in the year. The Eagles and Mids split their regular-season series, neither defeated Bucknell and both took a win from Army.

The other tie was between Lafayette and Lehigh, which both ended 5-9. Lafayette will play as the No. 6 seed and Lehigh as the No. 7 seed. Lafayette and Lehigh split their series, but the Leopards earned the higher seed due to their win over Bucknell.
