First Round
2/27- (9) Army (13-16; 6-12) at (8) Loyola-MD (8-21; 6-12)- 7:00, PLN
Prediction: Loyola-MD

2/27- (10) American (6-23; 3-15) at (7) Lafayette (9-20; 7-11)- 7:00, PLN
Prediction: Lafayette

Quarterfinals
3/1- (8) Loyola-MD at (1) Bucknell (22-9; 16-2)- 7:00, PLN
Prediction: Bucknell

3/1- (5) Boston University (14-15; 10-8) at (4) Lehigh (18-13; 11-7)- 7:00, PLN
Prediction: Lehigh

3/1- (6) Holy Cross (11-18; 8-10) at (3) Navy (20-11; 11-7)- 7:00, PLN
Prediction: Navy

3/1- (7) Lafayette at (2) Colgate (17-12; 12-6)- 7:00, PLN: The Leopards picked off the Raiders twice this season, but I like the Raiders here at home to advance.
Prediction: Colgate

Semifinals
3/4- (4) Lehigh at (1) Bucknell- 7:00, CBSSN: These two teams split the first two meetings and I think the Bison take the rubber match to the Championship game.
Prediction: Bucknell

3/4- (3) Navy at (2) Colgate- 7:30, CBSSN: The Raiders beat the Mid Shipmen twice in the regular season and make it three times here for them to advance to the Conference Championship.
Prediction: Colgate

Championship
3/6- (2) Colgate at (1) Bucknell- 7:30, CBSSN: This should be a fun conference title game between an improved Raiders team and a very good Bison team. Conference Player of the Year Zach Thomas will lead the way for the Bison to their second straight Big Dance.
Prediction: Bucknell
