As expected, the Patriot League has expanded its postseason tournaments for men’s and women’s lacrosse from four to six teams.
In a news release issued Friday, the Patriot League announced it was returning to the format it has used for lacrosse since 2014 by bringing back the quarterfinal round. Commissioner Jen Heppel indicated the fact spring sports were canceled last year because of coronavirus played a part in the decision to allow two additional teams to participate.
That means three teams each from the North and South divisions will qualify. Top seed in each division will receive an opening round bye.
