Waterville, ME – The SUNY Canton men's lacrosse team has qualified for the upcoming North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Tournament and will visit SUNY Poly on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the NAC Semifinal.
 
The Roos (3-3 overall, 3-3 NAC), who are the two seed in the West division visit the top seeded Wildcats (8-0 overall, 6-0 NAC). SUNY Canton and SUNY Delhi tied for second in the regular season standings with 3-3 division conference records. The Roos won the fourth tiebreaker which was overall winning percentage against NCAA Division III teams plus Division III Strength of Schedule (SOS) as determined by the most current NCAA Regional Ranking data available at the time of seeding.

If parents are concerned they can show up early but there should be no issue getting admitted to the game.
 
In the East, No. 1 seed Thomas and No. 2 seed Husson both ended the regular season with 3-1 divisional records. While both teams advance to the tournament, Thomas edged Husson for hosting rights by virtue of predetermined tiebreakers.
 
In this shortened season, teams played divisional schedules for the regular season. Championship hosts were predetermined prior to the start of the season such that men's lacrosse and softball championships will be hosted by the advancing West Division teams, while women's lacrosse and baseball will be hosted by the East Division.
 
The championship game is tentatively scheduled for 1:00 PM on Saturday, May 8, 2021. The date and time are subject to change in order to support the academic needs of advancing teams. The conference champion will earn the NAC automatic qualification bid to the 2021 NCAA men's lacrosse national championship tournament.
