Two MAAC contests this season will be elevated to ESPNU with one being a regular season game and the other being the 2022 MAAC Men’s Lacrosse Championship title match.

“Highlighting MAAC Men’s Lacrosse on ESPNU is a terrific opportunity to showcase our conference and illustrates once again the mutually beneficial partnership that exists between ESPN and the MAAC,” said Bill Maher, Director of Athletics at Canisius College and Chair of the MAAC Men’s Lacrosse Committee. “These nationally televised games on the “U” will reach 70 million homes and feature the outstanding level of NCAA DI lacrosse that the MAAC has become known for.”

The regular season MAAC meeting between Quinnipiac University and Marist College on Saturday, April 2, has been selected for the ESPNU national broadcast. Face-off between the Bobcats and Red Foxes is slated for 10 a.m. in Hamden, Connecticut.
