Due to the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was cancelled by the NAIA before any games could be played. In turn, no champion was crowned.
The NAIA had predetermined that this would be the final edition of a separate Division I tournament, planning to consolidate its two divisional tournaments back into a single event for 2021. With the cancellation of this event, the 2019 edition was the last completed edition of the tournament.
