2012 GNAC Men's Lacrosse Tournament Schedule Released

The #1 Lasell Lasers went a perfect 9-0 in GNAC play this season and have earned a top spot in the GNAC Men's Lacrosse Tournament. Lasell notched a key victory over 2011 the reigning GNAC Champions, Mount Ida College, which lifted the Lasers to a first place regular season finish. The determining game was played mid-season in a close battle, where the Lasers captured the victory by one goal in a 7-6 win.

The Mustangs earned a second place seeding in the playoffs after going 8-1 in the GNAC with a remarkable 3OT victory against Norwich in their last conference game. Newcomer Anna Maria College took the #3 spot after a critical win on the road against Norwich. Taking the number four seed is Norwich, who defeated rival St. Joe's to clinch the home playoff game.

Rounding out the final four seeds is #5 St. Joseph's of Maine, #6 Becker, #7 Emmanuel, and #8 Rivier.
