For the eighth consecutive year, Stony Brook has won the America East women’s lacrosse regular-season title and will host the #AEWLAX Championship next week. The Seawolves (8-0) have not lost a conference game – regular season or postseason – since 2014 and continued their historic stretch of consecutive regular-season crowns.
The No. 6/7 team in the nation will be joined by UAlbany (7-2), Vermont (6-3) and UMBC (5-4) in the tournament. The Great Danes will make their 13th consecutive #AEWLAX championship appearance and 11th as a top-two seed in that span. The Catamounts clinched a berth for the first time since 2015 while the Retrievers are making consecutive postseason appearances for the first time since 2011-12.
