2021 MAAC Men’s Lacrosse Championship Field Set
EDISON, N.J. (Apr. 26, 2021) – The championship field for the 2021 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Men’s Lacrosse Championship has been set. The seven teams competing for the MAAC title include Canisius College, Manhattan College, Marist College, Monmouth University, Siena College, St. Bonaventure University, and the University of Detroit Mercy.
The seven-team championship will take place between April 30 and May 8, 2021. All games will be hosted by the higher seeds. Due to the departure of Detroit Mercy from the MAAC at the end of the Spring 2021 season, Detroit Mercy will not act as a host throughout the 2021 MAAC Men’s Lacrosse Championship. In the event Detroit Mercy is the higher seed of their matchup, the lower seed will then act as host of that game.
Quarterfinal games will take place on Friday, April 30, and will be hosted by No. 2 Monmouth, No. 4 Canisius, and No. 6 St. Bonaventure. The top seed in the tournament, Manhattan, has received a bye into the semifinal round. Manhattan and the three remaining teams from the quarterfinal round will compete in the semifinal round on Wednesday, May 5, with each game being hosted by the higher seed. The championship game will take place on Saturday, May 8, and will be hosted by the highest remaining seed.
Per MAAC policy, host institutions will establish attendance policies based on state, local, and campus regulations, as well as facility guidelines. Please refer to each institution’s website for more details. All games will be broadcasted on ESPN+.
