Saint Peter’s (12-5, 9-1 MAAC) earns the No. 1 seed for the first time since 2010. The top-seeded Peacocks went on to win that year’s championship. The regular season champions carry a nine-game winning streak into the postseason. Saint Peter’s looks to continue this season’s undefeated home streak (6-0) in pursuit of the program’s third MAAC Championship.
Quinnipiac (9-5-3, 7-2-1 MAAC) ended the regular season with a 3-1 win over Rider to lock up the No. 2 seed. The Bobcats will have a first round bye before getting home field advantage in next Thursday’s semifinal.
No. 3 Iona (11-5-1, 6-3-1 MAAC) looks to avenge its Oct. 30 double overtime loss to No. 6 Rider (7-7-2, 4-4-2 MAAC). The Broncs won that contest by a score of 2-1. No. 4 Marist (9-8, 6-4 MAAC) and No. 5 Manhattan (6-9-1, 5-4-1 MAAC) are set for a first round meeting. The Red Foxes defeated the Jaspers 3-2 in their matchup earlier this season.
