The Saints and the Red Foxes are set to meet for the crown for the third time in MAAC history this Saturday afternoon in Loudonville, NY. Both teams earned their spots with semifinal wins on Thursday afternoon in New York. The Saints opened the day with a hard-fought victory over Merrimack, pulling away in the final minutes to secure the win. The Red Foxes followed with a 12–8 win over Sacred Heart breaking the game open with a dominant third quarter in which they held the Pioneers scoreless while adding four goals of their own to punch their ticket to the title game.
With plenty at stake, both programs enter Saturday chasing their fifth MAAC Men’s Lacrosse Championship. Siena is aiming to go back-to-back after defeating Sacred Heart 12–8 in last year’s title game in Fairfield, CT, while Marist is seeking its first championship since 2023, when it topped Siena 12–7.
The matchup adds another chapter to an already tight rivalry. The two teams met during the regular season on March 25, when Siena edged Marist 11–10 in double overtime in Poughkeepsie, NY. Now, they meet again with everything on the line and a MAAC title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The 2026 MAAC Men's Lacrosse Championship is a five-team, single-elimination championship taking place from Sunday, April 26 through Sunday, May 2, 2025. The first round will be hosted by the No. 4 seed while the semifinals and championship will be hosted by the top overall seed.
