By virtue of Stony Brook's win over Binghamton on Saturday night, Albany (11-1, 4-0 America East) has clinched the top seed and the right to host the 2007 America East Men's Lacrosse Championship on May 3 and 5.

 

The four-team tournament will get underway on Thursday, May 3 with semifinal action at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The title game will be played on Saturday, May 5 at 1 p.m.

 

UMBC (8-4, 3-1) and Binghamton (3-8, 2-2) have both also clinched berths to the conference tourney, but their seedings are to be determined.

 

Stony Brook (7-3, 2-2) and Hartford (2-11, 1-3) are vying for the fourth spot in the tournament. By virture of their head-to-head win over the Seawolves, the Hawks can earn the final bid to the tourney with a win on Saturday over Vermont AND a victory by UMBC over Stony Brook.

 

The Seawolves control their own destiny as a win over UMBC would solidify their spot in the tournament. Hartford's only way to get in is if the above scenario holds true.

 

Complete tie-breaking procedures are listed below. Stay tuned to AmericaEast.com on the final day of the regular-season, Saturday, April 28, as the playoff scenarios unfold.

According to the University Albany would have the 7 p.m. game on Thursday. Good news for me.

UA being in the 7:00pm game is good news! No need to sneak away early. Hopefully it will generate a good crowd to support the team

The temporary bleachers have been delivered and are being assembled this afternoon.

 

Some snow fences have been placed around the seats on the hill - are they trying to establish crowd control so they can charge admission?

[Dane Pound]

They are. Tickets are on sale now for $6.

WCDB will be broadcasting the game on Thursday evening and the championship if albany is in it. Hooray!!!!

Danes turn focus to tournament title - Times-Union

 

Team will wear gold jerseys tonight. Queener, Levine and two defensemen back from injuries.

 

Fallon Field with full bleachers at night would be a great photo-op for some student in the penthouse of Mohawk Tower tonight. Or for the content manager of the University web site, to replace the picture of Varsity Field for lacrosse.

We can buy the tickets at the Field tonight, right?

That was an exciting match!! A little too close at the end there, especially considering UMBC scored 6 times in the 4th, but so what --- a win is a win!

 

Yesterday's game was the first LAX match that I've seen in my life, and I really enjoyed it! If there is anyone else on this forum that also has not seen a LAX game, I encourage you to try to catch one, whether it be the playoffs this year or a game next year. The action is fast, and it's not a very complicated game to figure out because many of the rules are same, or close to the same, rules that you will see in other sports (i.e., out-of-bounds).
